hello, this week i have an appointment with my psychiatrist. and im going to get my 100mg thorazine discontinued becuase its not an effective dose. 700 was effective but it made me gain weight. im on 156mg of invega.injectable. my psychiatrist wants to increase the invega. it was at 234 and we went to 156. but i dont think 156 is an effective dose so im going to agree with him to increase it back to 234. but my question is does anyone know what the max invega dose is ??? i cant find any evidence online that you take more then 234. but my psychiatrist says 234 isnt the max dose.i think hes lieing to me, i think 234 is the max dose. ??????

How can you be on such an uneven dosage? They come in certain intervals of 25 and 50, so how you ended up with 156 and 234 is somewhat unbelievable.

However, the official max dosage per month is 150.

becuase im on the injectable form, all is know is that its called invega sustenna, the injectable form comes in 39 , 78, 117, 156, 234.

The drug product hydrolyzes to the active moiety, paliperidone, resulting in dose strengths of 25 mg, 50 mg, 75 mg, 100 mg, and 150 mg of paliperidone, respectively.

Meaning 234 translates into 150. Which is the max dosage.
