How to Taper Invega

Описание: Did you know Invega is one of the hardest drugs to taper? It’s because Invega comes in a coated capsule that can’t be cut. If you do, the drug could release unevenly into your bloodstream, causing more side effects.

But here's the good news: tapering off Invega is possible by switching to Risperdal. Why?

1) Invega is actually a metabolite of Risperdal, meaning most people who tolerate Invega also tolerate Risperdal.

2)Risperdal comes in instant release tablets and liquid formulations, making it much easier to taper.

The conversion is simple: 3mg of Invega equals 2mg of Risperdal.

Remember, tapering antipsychotics can be dangerous, so always work with a psychiatrist. For a detailed breakdown on how to taper psychiatric medications check out the tapering tips playlist on my main channel (Link in the bio)
