Stopping Invega Sustenna Long Acting Injection

Hello. I was misdiagnosed and given invega sustenna injection. I am now on 100 ml. Now I want to stop it. How did you stop it? Did you just stop taking the medication as it has a long half life and it tapers itself? Or did you taper it? Please help. How should I stop it?

How do you know you were misdiagnosed? I just stopped taking it once and a month later my symptoms returned

It’s a common theme with sz and sza to believe they were misdiagnosed.

You don’t sound well @nada.
Discuss with your doctor.

Don’t take matters in your own hands.

Hey guys. I wasn’t even diagnosed with schizophrenia. I was misdiagnosed as borderline and I was on an antipsychotic (Zyprexa) and I stopped it abruptly by myself which made me go into psychosis so they put me on those medications temporarily and now I will stop them.
