Hi, I took Invega tablets usually 12mg and sometimes 15mg for a total of about 6 months and I was wondering how long it would take to get out of my system completely and if there was any way I could get it out faster? Maybe there's something the doctor can prescribe that would help get it out faster. I'm a bipolar schizoaffective and I just have a lot of mind racing and manic and depressed episodes but when I took this pill and it built up about a month later I nearly committed suicide. I've talked to my doctor and he's decided to take me off the pill and just keep me on mood stabilizers. If anyone knows how long it should take to get this out of my system and if there's any way to get it out faster please let me know. Thanks. ## Hello, Eric! How are you doing? I...

I have gained ten pounds on this medicine. Is there any other drug like this that will not cause weight gain? I was out of medicine for 4 days and was very anxious and angry.any advice? I want off this stuff. I already take klonipin and lamictal. The dr has me on 3mg of invega and now she suggest risperdol. I have no clue what to try next. ## Hello, Racheal! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. Unfortunately no, weight gain is a normal side effect of almost all psychotropic medications. Others, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dry mouth, somnolence and headache. The only thing you can really do is eat healthy and get plenty of exercise to try to mitigate this effect. Does anyone else have any ideas or advice?

i cant afford a health insurance ,but i need a R/X card for prescription drugs what is the best program out there , that is not exspensive.i live pa ## I am paying an insurance copay of 250.00 for a 90 day supply of Invega ER 6 mg tablets for my son. This medicine is selling for $1500 for a 30 day supply. Can this RX Discount card be used with United Healthcare insurance to help with the cost?

I am on Medicare and have United Healthcare Supplemental Insurance. Can I also get a RX Discount Card to pay on this if rejected by insurance?

My doctor put me on Invega, along with 3 other anti-depressants, 5 years ago. Invega is classified as an anti-psychotic only it had no side effects--no sedation at all was the most prominent. Now the Invega is responsible for raising my cholesterol to 318 so I have to go off it. I was on 6 mgs. and he lowered it to 3 for one week. I was fine--as if nothing changed. After going off of it, I was a mess. I was sweating, I couldn't sleep, I felt like something was crawling on my skin and I couldn't sit still. Without his knowledge I went back on the full dose because I am in a wedding of a family member in 11 days. Then I was thinking. The symptoms I was having when I went totally off of it were WITHDRAWAL symptoms, not due to the lack of the medication otherwise. The psychiatrist w...

I found two capsule shaped solid white pills marked with S, then a vertical scoring line, then ET on the one side and on the reverse - marked 100. Please can someone identify. The medication belongs to a schizophrenic. Many thanks. ## I'm not finding a listing for these in any of our U.S. prescription drug resources. Where they found in the U.S. or elsewhere? Does anyone else recognize these tablets? ## Invega (palperidone) sounds similar to what your talking about. I get it for schizophrenia. I'm not sure what they say or if it has a score.
