Invega is basically a $3200 version of Risperdal.
I'm going to really push for stopping the Invega and if new pdoc doesn't listen I'll just not show up for the injection, have another severe psychosis, wind up IEA'd again, explain that I stopped the Invega because I'm allergic and I was manic half the time I was on it anyway.
The question for myself and my doc is, what antipsychotic do I try/go back on next?

Yes, Invega is Risperdal's cousin. What I would do it report an allergic reaction to Invega to your current healthcare provide so it becomes plastered across your medical record, everywhere, that you are allergic to Invega. This way if you get to an ER and are acute, they will avoid giving you Invega.
In terms of next APs to try, I would choose between Geodon and Abilify.
