> I feel that I have nothing to lose by simplifying my drug regimen. I am med compliant. We chose Invega Sustenna injection b/c my oral meds weren't working. My pdoc planned to taper me off of Zyprexa & Saphris over the next few months anyway. I'm just doing it ahead of schedule. If my condition deteriorates then I can always restart one or both drugs. I received my fourth injection earlier this morning and I'm not hearing voices now. I feel confident that I'll be okay. I'll keep ya'll updated on how I'm doing. Peace. :-)
vbs,
You wrote,[...I have nothing to lose by simplifying the drug regimen...].
Be advised, that it may be unbeknownst to your prescriber and yourself the great danger that you could be in now. You see, I have information concerning what could happen when one stops Invega sustenna in particular but not limited to just that drug.
The danger mainly revolves around that you could have Tardive Dyskinesia induced into you from stopping the Invega. This could be with you until you die and present hideous disfigurement along with a life-ruining condition.
