I had a dose bump from 6 to 9mg Invega for nearly month now.  I feel exhausted most of the time, I'm procrastinating on important things like doctor appointments and grocery shopping, and I lost my vocabulary.  I thought I just lost my creativity ( I really, really miss my creativity) but I'm stumbling over words and I'm nearly in tears.  I don't feel up and down (good).  I don't think I feel much of anything (bad).  Well, I still feel tired.  I can't read books-even my favorite funny author.  I was knitting (I have no idea why) and I can knit.  Ok, I learned from the internet so I can't really knit, but I made a square.  I sat through two movies to do it.  Then, my joints shot me down.  Now I look at my square and think 'I ought to finish that' and I go to sleep instead. 

If you read my last posting, I suspected Risperdal was causing creepy sleep talking which was causing much grief between my husband and myself.  Invega seemed to tame the tounge.  Get This: he said he liked me better on Risperdal.  I was painful but normal.  I felt emotionally/mentally better on the big R.  I am making a major debate about switching back.  I want so much to feel better.  But the cost is physically expensive.  I'll need to come up with an answer within the next four weeks; I have to report back to the pdoc.  Risperdal worked(ish).    Four weeks sounds like a lot of time, but time sure flies by when you're in bed.  :(  Wish me luck.
