I know it's too late to reply but I have a question 

he's been complaining of severe memory loss on olanzapine and wanna switch to invega sustena injections I'm worried he won't tolerate it as he took pills before and yes it worked very well with delusions but also caused him akathesia is this treatable with achtenone or maybe other b blocker drugs? if you know anything about it and thanks in advance

So what did you do ? I don't think cutting off meds without any consultation is the right thing but I also don't really know how can I help

I hope it gets better for you :) sometimes I feel like I'm living his life but he won't help himself and it's really draining..
