Question about Palperidone (generic Invega)

I only take 1.5 mg just for sleep. We found out by accident that the Invega was the only thing that helped me sleep. It’s extended release. So really roughly only .0625mg is in my system at any given time. How likely is it that, that is helping me with my sleep and not my 50 mg Zoloft dose I get with the Invega at night?

Hi @Raven1976 - I am not sure but doing a google search there are many articles suggesting Zoloft may create insomnia and some suggest taking it in the morning unless it make s you sleepy. So that seems like there is no clearly define side effect to Zoloft.

You could talk to your prescriber about moving Zoloft to AM if you find it difficult to sleep taking Zoloft at night. Sometimes taking a small dose of a psych med can induce sleep so possibly the Invega makes sleeping easier taking Zoloft at night. I am just guessing.
