Did anyone else suffer from insomnia as a result of coming off of invega sustenna injections.
If so how long did the insomnia last for and what did it look like?
Please help. I havent been able to nap or sleep well in months now.

Injections stay in your body a long time be patient you will return to normal eventually

It depends on how long you were on it but you could be having insomnia for other reasons idk

I had trouble after I received my first shot, insomnia and vivid dreams. Im fine now and still on the shot.
How long did you have insomnia for?
I have the same thing from risperidone which is similar to invega. I’m glad I never went on the injection. I’m wondering the same thing as you. If my sleep will go back to normal. I’ve been off of risperidone for a month & have yet to get my sleep back
Oh yeah I can’t nap anymore either. I’m really upset about that part of it
i had insomnia when i first switch to invega from olanzapine. but taking benztropine for an unrelated thing has made it so that i can get decent sleep time,
i think this is because olanzapine has anticholinergic properties, invega does not, but benztropine is a anticholinergic
I’m on invega hafyera 1560 mg every six months and my sleep is good for the most part. I sleep in phases but I generally get my needed rest.
About 2 months then it just went away.
