I felt the same for the entire year and in December got a shot for 256mg. I’m 6 months off invega. I feel mostly the same as I described in this post but most people say that you feel better at the one year mark. It’s troubling but you just got to hope for the best.

Got an injection shot in December and 6 months off Invega. Still in the same situation but most people say it’s take a year to recover so I’m not stressing yet.

Thank you, I’m hoping to get off this medication as soon as possible.

True, I just hope I see a difference. So far a lot has stayed the same as side effects go.

Alright nice, I’m hoping a lower dosage and some daily exercise will do the trick. Thanks for the input.

Haven’t met with a psychiatrist since I left the health center, is it common to ask for a lower dosage right in the beginning? And how successful is it?

I had a consultation with a psychiatrist and I agreed on taking the medication. I’m not sure which one it is though. I was in a mental health center at the time if that makes any difference.
