I was on its counterpart risperdal and yeah it caused me anxiety at first but went away
A lot of APs cause Anxiety or worsen it.
Invega and its cousin Risperdal both can cause anxiety.
When I was on Invega, I felt physically ill, I do remember it also making me feel anxious.
I am on Risperdal now and Yes it triggers anxiety, especially when I ncrease the dose.
You can have a talk about it wth your doctor - best of luck
I didn’t realise other meds caused anxiety like that. I thought abilify was the only one. Iti-007 apparently causes mild sedation as a side effect. When/if it becomes available. Another reason to look forward to it as far as I’m concerned.

Abilify made my anxiety unbearable - but other APs cause or worsen anxiety also.
Its a crap shoot really when it comes to these meds.
Anxiety, Akathisia, and Restlesness are all major side effects of Vraylar - I am really afraid to try this med.

Geodon gives me anxiety, where I feel like I’m going to have a heart attack.
There’s a big difference between anxiety and feeling like having a heart attack. Have you mentioned this to your doctors?!
Yea she thinks I complain too much about meds.
I don’t like the sound of that. Can she give you something for the anxiety?
I take Ativan…

Doesn’t sound like it’s helping. I’d mention the heart issue to them again. I don’t like the sound of that.

Risperdal and Abilify both caused anxiety for me, Zyprexa does not.
