REPORT

I was on Invega for 5 years. It raised my blood pressure to 318 so I had to stop it. I was on 6 mgs. and was dropped to 3 mgs. for a week and then my doctor told me to stop. I am a recovering alcoholic and street drug addict. The withdrawal was horrendous! I was sweating profusely, couldn't sleep, felt like something was crawling on my skin and couldn't sit still. I also couldn't function properly. I don't know what your doctor advised or what mgs you are on, but I believe I should have been on the 3 mgs. for about 3 weeks and then taken off of it, so my body got used to the lower dosage. I went back on the full dosage so I can get through a wedding I am in that's in 11 days. After that, I am going to talk to the doctor again and see if he will prescribe enough 3 mgs. for me to do what I said. The best to you, Mike!!!

Along with the issues that Candy described from a sudden withdrawal, it could also cause rebound mental health issues that may be more severe than the ones you started taking it to treat.

Ref: Invega Information

Thus, it is best to only stop taking it under a doctor's supervision, and to do a slow, gradual taper, unless it's being replaced with an alternative medication that may help prevent withdrawal effects.

Are you on any other medications? Did your doctor instruct you to stop taking it?

Candy, that is scary, I hope you find an alternative that helps you, without causing possibly dangerous side effects.
