If invega didnt work does that mean risperdal wont work as well? I heard they are the same yet some say they are different. I went pretty crazy on invega… dr just prescribed risperdal… I am soooo confused
That sounds like a bad decision on your doctor’s part. Idk what I would do.

Risperdal was a hard hitter for me. Like 300 lbs and HORRIBLE motivation problems. But it did a good job with The positive symptoms.
One pharmacist tells me it the same and another pharmacist says they are totally different. Same thing with psychs
What positives did you have that helped

It was the first med I was on.
So like delusions, paranoia.
“paliperidone is the active metabolite of risperidone” translated on google and taken from the swedish site FASS.se
The site contains all the licensed medications in Sweden. And should be trusted as a reliable source of information.
Risperdal and Invega are not the same, but they are very similar because they come from the same ‘family’. So if Invega doesn’t work, then Risperdal probably won’t.
