Hey I recently switched back to 1mg of Risperidone after being on 3mg of Invega for a couple of months. I was previously, before both of these, on invega trinza. I felt rather tired and sedated/half asleep on the invega, so I talked to my nurse practitioner and she changed me back to 1mg of Risperidone.
I’ve been getting random bad anxiety since switching to invega 3mg and now Risperidone 1mg. I take lexapro 30mg for anxiety, but it does not seem to be preventing this anxiety. I normally get anxiety in social situations, but this is more like GAD and has no triggers I’m aware of. It comes and goes every few days, having been the worst the last couple of weeks. Could I be withdrawing from the 3mg Inevga? It has been maybe a month and a week since the change to Risperidone 1mg.
Also, my thoughts feel sluggish but randomly return to normal to where I feel like my old self before going back to being slow after a day or two of clear thinking. It’s really annoying! Have you experienced similar things on Risperidone? I will be seeing a psychiatrist in about two weeks to talk about these things. Thanks!
