Starting Invega 1.5mg Tablets for Schizophrenia - Any tips or advice?

#mentalhealth #medication #schizophrenia

I've recently been prescribed Invega 1.5mg Tablets for schizophrenia and I'm a bit nervous about starting this medication. I've read about the possible side effects and they're a bit scary, especially the serious ones. Has anyone else taken this medication? What was your experience like? Any advice or tips for managing the side effects would be greatly appreciated.

I've been on Invega for a year now, and while it helped with my schizophrenia, I've gained a lot of weight. Be mindful of your diet and exercise

I was on Invega for a few years. It helped a lot with my symptoms, but I did gain some weight. Just make sure to eat healthily and exercise if you can. Best of luck!

Invega really helped me stabilize my mood. I didn't have any major side effects, just a bit of drowsiness at first. It gets better with time, so don't worry too much.

Side note: Invega can cause some pretty crazy chest pain at times if you are one of the unlucky ones. Just don’t ignore it.

I wish I had some sage advice, but honestly, I just took it and hoped for the best. It worked out for me, so fingers crossed for you!
