The pdoc asked if I could be at his next appt. ???

Also, my son got his final paper back from the peer support class today. The teacher wrote all kinds of positive things on the paper and put a note at the end that he should definitely work in mental health.
thats so good costello!!!! some positive feedback to boost the spirits is always a welcoming sight! good on him

this is what i don't understand..ive only been on invega for 4-5 months and from what i can see its doing a pretty good job...so i dunno why he wants me off the stuff when I've been so up and down lately with my symptoms crawling back a bit...i can tell u now my psychologist won't approve.....
Thanks for this!
