Yes, I am on Invega Sustenna, have been for 3 years. I am/was at 156mg. Next one, pdoc wants to increase to 234mg though. I was on Invega pills before the injection, but I was not always remembering to take them, hence the injection. I still do not remember to take my other oral pills all the time, so it looks like the injection is still the best option for me.
Hopefully, the additional 156mg yesterday will knock out my thoughts until I get the 234mg in a couple weeks. If the paranoia is still there when I go back next week, that is when pdoc said we would add oral haldol for a few days because haldol would take care of it right away.
I have been on a slew of antipsychotics. I was on Risperdal (oral) for a long time, though we had to keep increasing it every so often, then I eventually began to lactate on it. Then, we went to Latuda...except, I wouldn't always eat enough with it and end up puking it up. So we went with Invega pills, I was good on those for a while, but then I started forgetting to take them, so the injection came about.
I just want to be normal, but I guess that is a wish that only a miracle could solve.
