Does anyone know if Paliperidone 1.5 mg extended release is going to stop being made in. the U.S. I know it’s discontinued so why is it still being made? In some countries they don't make it anymore.

Invega (brand) wasn't discontinued for safety/efficacy reasons (probably just not a lot of people take 1.5mg) so I believe you can still get the generic ingredient paliperidone, but ask your doc to be sure.

My good friend is on oral palperidone. He is in PNW. He has not mentioned any upcoming trouble getting this drug. But I do not know his dosage.
What denominations does Palperidone come in? And is it in capsule or tablet form? If it is in tablets, you can cut larger tablets to arrive at the dose you need. This is convenient with scored tablets. With u scored tablets, you may need to crush them and divide the powder. A pain, I know. Even with capsules, people open them, pour out the little pellets and split them. This is not precise and ideally should be avoided, but sometimes there is no choice. I use a medium dose of Naltrexone by splitting the lowest dose pill available commercially at a low copay. There are also much lower dose denominations, called LDN, but they are exorbitantly expensive. So for me, splitting a scored pill works very well. I hope you do not need to go this route, though.

Oops, I am sorry, I missed that you need extended release. Extended release tablets should not be split. Sorry.
