Common Questions and Answers about Invega anxiety

invega

912156 tn?1242874384 invega is time released so you cannot cut it in half or chew it. the actual tablet will make it through your digestive system in tact but all the meds will slowly seep out into your system. i am on invega. i am slowly going off it. but not soon enough. i am so sensitive to heat now, and i get the twitches and spasms and my whole body falls asleep but i can still feel pain, het and cold etc. but i can't move.
912156 tn?1242874384 I too though there was something seriously wrong with me. Taking the Invega might have triggered this latest round of anxiety / symptoms. During my breakdown, I would get dizzy / lightheaded anytime I stood up. I spent 2 weeks lying on the couch watching the Golden Girls. Also, if you are still taking the Lexapro, lightedheadedness upon standing is a common side-effect of this medication. Trust your tests and your doctors. However, it might be worth taking another look at your thyroid levels.

Avatar f tn As you will know Seroquel is a very calming anti psychotic, whereas Invega is quite agitating, I think by dropping the Invega you will have a lot less side effects ( fingers crossed ) You might feel quite drowsy for a few weeks because of the Seroquel but the extra 50mg he has given you isn't going to be too harsh, my doc usually increases my Seroquel by 100mg. With it being the XR version as well, you will have less drowsiness.

I get at the worst on the weekends when everything is winding down from my week that is stressfull. just don't think its the meds doing it to me. and why should I be differnt than I have been before I lose it and yell alot but that is me.
Avatar n tn HEy guys Ive been on lamictal for a while now and invega and ive been doing pretty good, Id say about 70 percent of where I feel I should be. I still feel a lil sad at times but overall Im in a constructive mindset. My therapis talked about adding an anti depressent in the future if I want so im wondering which one works for yall? I dont want one with sexual side effects(negative) she recommended wellbutrin. How should I feel on this if I decide to take it?
Avatar f tn I was on Lithium for almost 2 yrs and I can tell you it can certainly screwup your sex drive. I went from 20-30 minutes of bliss to 10 minutes of strain too. The longer you take it the less you will care if you ever have sex again. I am obsessive about sex and my dr had to take me off of it so I went to Risperdal. It was a nice alternative after the transfer period. It kept the voices from getting me nuts.
Avatar f tn I hope neurology is the correct topic for this. When I experience depression or social anxiety, the skin on my face feels like it's vibrating violently, my lower eyelids begin shaking so much that my vision is being shaken, my hands and fingers become very numb and contort inwards towards my body almost to the point of it being painful. And the most recent episode, the skin around my mouth tightened up so bad I could hardly open my mouth to talk.
Avatar n tn the hospital took me off prestic, seroquel and lithium and the neurologist put me on lamital for both seizures and depression. also, i am taking invega and ativan for anxiety. the reason for my seizures is because of medicine. i lost my memory, use a cane and bit my tongue badly. caution: beware of anti-depressents--they can lower your seizure threshold. thank god i am getting better.
5700140 tn?1372651764 I been burning since 10 pm this happens every night goes on for hrs my anxiety is rising and I just stop burping..What is the cause of this? I take lamictal for seizures,xaxan invega, it is my meds do this,seizures??
Avatar n tn My wife was diagnosed 4 years ago with Bi-polar disorder and has been under the care of a phsyciatrist. Twice in those years she has tested positive for hypothyroidism. Her phsychiatrist currently has her on a regimen of wellbutrin, lamictal, klonopin, lithium (recently added) & Invega (recently added). Over those 4 years she has been on just about every med there is for this disorder with no good results.
Avatar f tn Should I stop consuming cannabis with invega sustenna? And if I don’t what are the interactions I was just told it causes sedation.
912156 tn?1242874384 285lbs and i smoked a pack a day till just recently. 5 mos. ago i took a drug named Invega wich is an antipsycotic but was given to me for bipolar disorder. This drug is a revoloutionary drug in that field in that it is a time released capsule of palpharidone wich should never be crushed, chewed, or cut before taking. Unfortunately I didnt know this at the time.
Avatar f tn I am without invega now for 2 days and placed on zyprexa taken so far 2 days. Can anyone tell me when I will feel better. I am exhausted, listless, get dizzy When standing and terrible nausea. No appetite. I also have ideas of reference in my Psychosis. High anxiety. He also put me on cogentin for uncontrollable muscle Movements of my tongue rubbing my teeth all day. This is day 3 and it's still happening. I guess it's a lot of mental strain changing all these meds at once.
Avatar n tn My friend was hospitalized and put on Zyprexa, Trileptal and Invega over a period of 21 days. Now he's been released but can not afford the drugs so he hasn't taken taken any for 5 days. The invega was only given to him 6 days ago, and is a monthly injection, so the withdrawl for that hasn't started yet. I know one isn't supposed to just stop anti-psychotics but he hasn't been able to get Medicare and I don't think he'll manage it right now. So this is his reality...
