I just started Invega last Weds for mania. So far its working alright. Though I cannot honestly say its stopped my mania (maybe even accelerated it), it has seemed to stop the mixed episodes. So instead of manic and depressed at the same time, I just seem to be ultra manic now. I cannot sleep to save my life. The only time I do sleep is after 20 hours or so awake and then I only sleep for 5 hours or so. BUT I do actually feel happier. So I am trying to think positive about it.

The only weird thing I have noticed is that I will wake up sometimes with this extremely hard, fast heartbeat going on. I wonder if that's high blood pressure? Or is it just from dreaming...if so, I have never done that before and I suffer from horrible, horrible nightmares nearly ever night, but have never had the heart pounding the way I have the last week.

What is your experience with Invega? I'm also on 3 mg, btw.
