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