My pharmacy didn't call me and let me know but the Invega was approved! They have to order some so I won't be getting it until the latest Monday but I can finally try it and continue weaning off zyprexa.
I really hope it works for me without any major side effects. Yay! |

Good luck! It's a great med (for me at least)

Well I'm on day 3 of Invega at 1.5 mgs. I'm down to 7.5 on the zyprexa. So half the dose I was taking of zyprexa. My appetite has for sure decreased so that's great yay! But I did keep waking up last night and had a hard time falling back asleep. But I'm hopeful. In a week and a half I increase the Invega another 1.5 mgs....wish me luck!

I love Invega. It's great at controlling the mania and I don't have any side effects. I hope it works for you! Glad it was approved!

That's awesome!!!
After my current experience with abilify shot I'm a big fan of the once monthly meds!!

What kind of med is Invega?
Is it super high dollar? New?
