At your first session, share what you’re experiencing and what you’re hoping to get out of treatment. Together, you’ll discuss your options—including whether medication might be a good fit. If so, your provider can send a prescription directly to your local pharmacy.
Your provider will check in regularly to make sure your treatment plan is working for you and adjust as needed.
Antipsychotics are a class of medication that is primarily used to treat symptoms of psychosis, like hearing and seeing things that other people do not, feeling paranoid, or having delusions.
Antipsychotics work by blocking dopamine in the brain, which helps reduce the frequency and severity of psychotic symptoms.
Paliperidone (Invega) is an atypical antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.
Invega has a half-life of about 23 hours. This is how long it takes for half the drug to leave your body after you take a dose. Typically, it takes around five half-lives for a medication to completely leave your system, meaning it may take around five days for paliperidone to clear your system after you take a dose.
Weight gain is a common side effect of paliperidone, and commonly occurred in studies of people taking the medication. Paliperidone doesn’t typically cause weight loss, though. If you have concerns about weight gain with paliperidone treatment, talk with your provider.
Mild side effects of paliperidone are typically temporary and go away as you continue taking the medication. However, some side effects of paliperidone may be serious and last long term. Examples include uncontrolled movements, heart problems, high blood sugar, weight gain, drops in blood pressure when standing up, inability to stay still, and seizures. If you experience side effects that are bothersome or serious, call your provider. They can discuss your options with you, including stopping paliperidone if it’s not safe for you.
No, paliperidone is not a controlled substance. It is not habit-forming and is not known to cause addiction. If you have other questions about how paliperidone works, talk with your provider or pharmacist.
In some cases, your provider may prescribe both paliperidone and risperidone for long-term use. However, the long-term effects of taking both together are not known, and taking them together may increase your risk of side effects. If you have questions about taking paliperidone and risperidone together, talk with your provider.
Yes, sleepiness is a common side effect of paliperidone. This side effect may go away as you continue taking the medication. However, until you know how paliperidone affects you, don’t drive or perform tasks that require alertness. If you have questions about this side effect, talk with your provider to learn more.
You can meet with a licensed provider at Thriveworks, in person or online depending on your state. If it’s clinically appropriate, they may prescribe medication for a diagnosed mental health condition. Your provider will send your prescription to a local pharmacy to be filled.
Thriveworks accepts most major insurance plans for psychiatry and therapy services. Your insurance may also cover the cost of any medication your provider prescribes, which can be filled at a local pharmacy. Check with your plan to confirm your medical and prescription coverage.
