Invega is the daughter drug (active metabolite) of Risperdal. If you want something substantially different from Risperdal, why was Invega chosen? Perhaps your doctor has a very good reason for choosing it. Maybe he has some data or anecdotes indicating that Invega won't produce sweating. If not, I would have a discussion with your doctor about alternatives. You can always do a rapid cross-over to Invega to see what happens. It might make sense to do that if Risperdal makes you feel much better.
