Your med doses are kinda low. I looked up Invega because I don't know it and while it doesn't have anything for bipolar (not approved for it apparently) this is what it says:

I'm pretty certain that when I tried to take Trileptal the starting dose was 300 mg. I could be wrong on that, it didn't work out for me and it was a long time ago but I think that may be a fairly low dose as well.

So you definitely do have room to go up and still be on quite reasonable doses.
