I’m hoping this will help reduce some of the side effects such as anhedonia!

Hi! The needles were difficult for me at first! Eventually, I got used to them. I’m glad you found a drug that works for you!

It’s working. But I get lumps at the injection site. It affects my sleep too. I find I can only sleep about 3 hours or less at a time then I wake up, but I usually fall back asleep again.

I’m lowering my invega in the next two weeks. My doctor is lowering it to 117mg also. I hope I do well with it and handle stress well.

When I was on this drug I was able to get it down to 78mg without positive symptoms. I was on that drug for years. I’m now on latuda.

If you don’t mind me asking, why did you switch to Latuda?

If you don’t mind me asking, why did you switch meds? How is Latuda?

Because my pdoc had a lot of patients complaining that they didn’t feel well on invega sustenna. Its not one of her preferred drugs.
