I’m on the pills. My pdoc said today that she only prescribed the injections to those who aren’t med compliant.

Been on Invega for years. Some people swear by it, like i do - or hate it with a passion lol.
Its upto you how you get on with it. You do get a bit “flat” on it, but eating protein will boost your mood a bit.

I’ve heard too much horror stories of it making you a emotionless zombie

Nah. Cobblers. Its nothing like the 1st gen meds. They will probably wean you onto it with
risperadone pills first.

Surprised they are considering invega then. Your just gonna have to find a med that suits
you personally. And that doesnt mean just a couple of months - and then asking to change. They can take a long time to work.

There’s this chick on YouTube that talks about her eyes looking up there’s a term for it. She’s schizophrenic. I was on invega for 14 years. Couldn’t tolerate it at the end. Got on perphenazine around a year ago and my symptoms and well being have improved. I def wouldn’t get back on it now. I preferred the pills over the shot though. Everyone is different though as far as what ap’s work best

Have you taken the pills? It’s about the same. I just didn’t like the shot cause of how it comes on throughout the month.
