Does anyone take Invega [Paliperidone]?!
Question: If so, what do you take it for? It says it's only used for Schizophrenia, but my doctor gave it to me for Bi Polar Disorder...

Yeah. I took it for bipolar disorder. It isn't approved for it yet but it's manufactured by the same people who make Risperdal. It is Risperdal but it is metabolized differently. I had to be taken off of it because it increased my prolactin levels. I no longer got my period and I had painful enlarged breasts along with some other "private" symptoms. I hated that medication so much.
