Has anyone ever got off of Invega Sustenna? How did you do it? Did you quit cold turkey or did you titrate slowly by lowering the monthly dose gradually? Last time I tried to withdraw , the doctor stopped it abruptly and I relapsed and had to jump back on it to stop the psychosis and hospitalization .

I was on it for a year but it gave me high prolactin levels to where I started lactating. My doc cut me off it cold turkey and immediately started a moderate dose of Haldol. As long as you’re put on something else you should be fine
I should ask the reason WHY you want to get off it?
Hi Hanna,
I’ve been on Invega for almost 8 years. My prolactin levels are high and I’ve started to lactate. Does Haldol raise your prolactin levels as well.

Can’t speak much positive on Haldol. Turned me into a complete zombie. I almost lost my job and had to take a medical leave for 4 weeks while I figured out my meds. Now I take Geodon and I have good luck with that one. My prolactin is still high but I now longer lactate
Glad you’re doing better.
