I have been having auditory/visual hallucinations and recently a bout of severe depression. My doctor has just gotten approval for a new injection however I'm nervous because I've never had this shot before. She assures me it's similar to my old one. I've had bad side affects from anti-psychotics in the past and really don't wish to go through it again. The new injection is called Invega. Has anyone heard of it or used it before?
If you've never taken the drug before why would you start with the injection? If they don't want to pay for injections why not take the pills instead?
