On A Invega Roller Coaster

Anyone else feel like they are on a roller coaster when it comes to your injectable ap? like for the first week symptoms are barely there, then the next week they start getting worse, and then for the last week they are almost unbearable.

This is common, its why I don’t take long acting injections. I am on of the people who are sensitive to the meds running out, even over the course of the day. I have been able to avoid it by dosing at 8 am and 5 pm. Ideally I would go for dosing once every 12 hours.

I was the same way on pills had to take them fewer hours apart and would wake up psychotic. Kinda hoped that the injection would help that but now instead of waiting an hour for meds to kick in its wait a week for an injection.

Yes, and pdocs seem oblivious.

I’m on invega and for me it’s the last few days to a week where I notice myself going downhill. It’s bearable though.

Isn’t that the truth my doctor was bound and determined I was going on the injection and one of his main reasons was to keep me more level.
