Invega issues with sleeping

I am on 6 mg of invega and I sleep for like an hour or two and wake up then fall sleep again waking up in an hour or two. This happened periodically through the night. I am only able to sleep for an hour or two before waking up. Is this normal. Does anyone else have this issue?

I had insomnia with Invega too, even though I used to take it at 6:30 a.m. I would do like you said, only sleep in 90 minute or two hour chunks and then be up for a while.

That’s not why I went off it (I was on 12 mg) - it was due to elevated prolactin - but I don’t miss that side effect.

May I ask what you are taking now? And are you sleeping normally now?

I am titrating up on Trilafon, a first generation med. I really like it, and yes, i sleep normally now. A little too good sometimes, when i sleep ten hours. That wears off as you get used to it though.

Oh boy. This is hard to get use to. I don’t want to die a young death because of lack of sleep. If things don’t get better in about 6 months I am switching meds.
