How long does it take invega sustenna to start to have an affect on psychosis - is he just bluffing that it had an affect after 5 mins so he can get out of hospital? He has been psychotic for over a month and been taking riperidol for that long - similar drugs...

5 minutes is nothing. Meds don't work instantly. I mean, it's one thing to say you feel better within 24 hours, but 5 mins? That med hasn't even been absorbed
I can't say if he's lying or if he genuinely feels better, but I would say that him feeling better is probably a coincidence if it's not a lie. |

It is a subcutaneous implant that slowly releases the medication. It could be felt in a short while but I highly doubt that short

I did the Abilfy shot. It took 3-5 days to kick in.
