Oh okay, is there a regular version they could put you on to taper off?

My doctor doesn’t understand she told me to lower every two weeks which is crazy

Oh okay, sorry I thought there were. I took them but I guess they were XR then.

I guess I will just wait it out the know what to do feel very sick :thinking:

How many days ago did you stop? Sometimes it can take a few days to a week to get through it and the first couple days can be rough.

Dear rainstorm. Invega pills just comes in extended release. If you taper Invega you must switch each extended release tó Risperidone=Invega. You must taper very slowly maybe with the lowest dose of 0.25 mg. Talk to your doctor about it.

Do so and you will soon be on Cobenfy.

Sucks man. Do you have any PRN’s you can take when symptoms get bad instead of going back up to your old dose?

Not really :pensive_face:

Sucks. Maybe ask your doctor for one next time.
