Avatar f tn You should never stop taking your medication except under the guidance of your prescribing doctor. You don't say what type of medication you are taking so it's hard to say what you should do. Don't get lulled into a false sense of not needing your meds because you are feeling better, you are feeling better because the medication is doing it's job. Let us know what medication you're taking and we can be of more help to you. Thanks!

Avatar n tn My wife was put on Invega for 7 days while she was in a psychiatric facility (6mg twice a day). She stopped taking it the minute she was released. It's been almost a month since she's had her last dosage. She now has hand tremors and is totally exhausted all the time. I know these are symptoms of the drug.. now long can she expect to have these symptoms? How long does it take for the drug to be completely out of her body?

Avatar f tn I have seen several people here using sub here to assist with their treatment here. I have a question in regards to how a drs. will allow the medication to be used. I know sub is very expensive to obtain especially if you do not have the insurance to cover it. Has anyones dr. prescribed them 1-2 tabs at a time because the patient wasn't able to afford the full script?

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.

Avatar f tn I started 5 Mgs of zyprexa about 5 days ago for psychosis, mostly "ideas of reference" the zyprexa is now added to my seroquel since I weaned off invega. So far, I am having less ideas of reference but not totally gone. Didn't expect a miracle in taking it less than a week. Can anyone please let me know their experience with zyprexa. How long it took to work and how it helped you. I would appreciate any advice and information on it.

408795 tn?1324935675 Although not as specific, it contain much of the same information and is readily available to the patient and the doctor. This information label was given to me by my GI to read and discuss regarding issues related to anger and depression and the potential for needing an AD sometime during trt. I would hope all doctors discuss this prior to trt, but this may not be the case. I'm also curious what "psychological evaluations" are being done.
9648 tn?1290091207 By obtaining data from pharmacies and health insurers, the drug companies learn the prescribing habits of thousands of doctors. That information has become not just a powerful sales and marketing tool for the pharmaceutical industry but also a source of growing concern among some elected officials, healthcare advocates and legal authorities.
Avatar n tn I am currently taking invega and I have a wierd side effect that come along with it. When I am experiencing the side effect my eyes become uncontrollable and I lose my full sense of concentration. A doctor I have seen in the past describes this side effect as a spasm. It is painful and it is a pest. I have medication for the side effect but it does not work as fast as I would like. Does anyone have advice or tips about what I should do about it? If so, that would be a lot of help.
