Hes just constantly paranoid about everything. I don't know how to help him anymore...
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

So, the Invega isn't even holding him since he is stil paranoid. He clearly needs a med change, any schizoaffective pt (I believe that is prolly my dx rt now) could see that from across the road. Something adequately addressing paranoia might also mitigate the delusion about being drugged. In short, he is psychotic and suffering as a result.
There are other APs out there that work for people.
We are all unique. Seroquel has been terrific for Soupe but makes me feel stoned. Abilify worked well for me for a decade. Now, Trilafon is my antipsychotic. Fantastic.
So, my first thought is different antipsychotic pronto. No wonder he is such a challenge. He is psychotic. He must be miserable. Heartbreaking.
You guys gotta take some action, Breeze.
Hugs and love!! Prayers.
