I’ve been on invega for a week so far. Today I am feeling anxious. My case manager says that anxiety is not caused by invega. Then why do I feel this way? I’ve been trying to read a book to distract myself which is sort of helping. Time is dragging along. I went to starbucks and had coffee and talked on the phone with the person I went to Chicago with but after two hours of talking he doesn’t want to any more. Plus I’m still shaking and moving my tongue and lips around. Cogentin- along with invega- can cause tardiv dyskinesia. Or is that that true? The cogentin caused dry mouth and urinary retention. So I can’t take cogentin. Invega can cause urinary retention too but so far so good. These side effects are driving me batty! I’m also hungry a lot! Trying to watch what I eat but I just ate an oatmeal cookie with some milk.

Now I’m having chest pain! It’s not radiating down my arm at least.

Oh. I don't know if invega can cause anxiety and chest pain. I only took one dose of it one night IP when I was really manic. It just numbed me a little bit. I didn't like it so I refused to take it again. Have you contacted your psychiatrist? I hate anxiety. It's a terrible feeling. I hope you feel better soon.
By the way, an oatmeal cookie sounds really good! __________________ The darkest of nights is followed by the brightest of days. 😊 - anonymous The night belongs to you. 🌙- sleep token "I'm scared. I'm old. I want to go home!" 😁 - anonymous |

Feeling ok tonight. Went out to eat with my daughter and her boyfriend. Ate half of this large burrito and tried a fried Oreo. I didn’t enjoy that. Too greasy.
Tomorrow is the big neighborhood garage sale in my mom’s neighborhood but I didn’t realize it so I didn’t get any cash. N3 has to work tomorrow morning so he’s not coming. __________________ Ingrezza 80 mg Propranolol 40 mg Benztropine 1 mg Vraylar 1.5 Mania (July/August 2024) Mania (December 2023) Mixed episode/Hypomania (September 2023) Depression, Anxiety and Intrusive thoughts (September 2021) Depression & Psychosis (July/August 2021) Mania (April/May 2019) |

I don’t see my pnurse practitioner until the 12th but I’m seeing my primary dr tomorrow. When I got the bloodwork done I wasn’t on invega yet so it will have to be repeated.

Was reading about invega and it is specifically for schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.

Invega can, in low numbers of cases, cause anxiety as a side effect. Is your case manager an M.D. or, more specifically, a psychiatrist? If you are having Generalized Anxiety Disorder or Anxiety due to one of the flavors of Depression and Panic Disorder. If this worsens, I would talk to someone else or get a second opinion. It is amazing to me really how many folks in healthcare seem not to understand medication therapy is supposed to help people and be corrective to such conditions. Not cause them, sorry for the anxiety.

My case manager isn’t a doctor or nurse. I’m not sure what her credentials are. She is the go between of me and my psych nurse practitioner.
I’m at my primary doctor waiting to see how much weight I’ve gained on invega. It’s only been a couple weeks but I know my weight is higher. __________________ Ingrezza 80 mg Propranolol 40 mg Benztropine 1 mg Vraylar 1.5 Mania (July/August 2024) Mania (December 2023) Mixed episode/Hypomania (September 2023) Depression, Anxiety and Intrusive thoughts (September 2021) Depression & Psychosis (July/August 2021) Mania (April/May 2019) |

At the hospital. They are keeping me overnight. Couldn’t follow what my primary dr was saying this morning.

I really was out of it. Feeling somewhat the same but feeling better for the most part. They said psych will want to see me here. I really am glad my doctor suggested that I come to the RR. I didn’t feel comfortable driving home.

I’m home. Spent 3 days in the hospital. Still on invega 1.5. Off Wellbutrin and propranolol. We are going to California to take my dad’s ashes out to sea. Last night I was up until 4 am hearing commanding voices. I took a 3 hour nap. Hoping I sleep okay. My case manager suggested that I go back to the ER but I chose to stay home. I see my Pdoc on Monday. We shall see if she wants to change my invega dose. I was on 3 mg at the hospital mainly because that’s all they had. Still having akathisia- tongue and lips. My pharmacy gave me enough meds to get me through one day before we get home. I’ll have to use some of the extra that I have from when I was in the hospital though they’ve taken me off Wellbutrin which I know is still in my blister packs. The pharmacist who does the blister packs isn’t coming in for over a week. I hope I can remember what to take and what not to.

Having coffee at Starbucks. Feel a little over caffeinated. Slept in this morning. Now feeling sick. Feel shakey. Guess starbucks was a bad idea. I think I’ll throw away the rest of this drink.
