Is It Okay Going Off Invega Cold Turkey?

I think my invega shots are giving me gynicomastia. Obviously I don’t want that, so is it okay to go off the shots cold turkey? Or should I tell someone first?

Do not attempt to go off of the Invega cold turkey.
Definitely talk to your psychiatrist about it.
He or She will come up with another plan for you.

See this post. You could consider adding a bit of abilify to the mix.

Coming off meds without tapering causes hallucinations. It is the side effect of the meds, then they blame it on sz, but it is the meds as written in the side effects notes that accompany the oral medication.
