Comments: A New Son Of Risperdal
I've never understood how minor adjustments (delivery, packaging, etc.) warrant a new patent. I'm very experienced with injectable antipsychotics. They suck. But I guess they're better than those implants that spew toxins into your system for a few weeks.

Claiming Invega has all the therapeutic strengths of risperdal without the side effects, they will continue pushing Invega (IM or PO) full force because their patent on Risperdal is up soon. I know for a fact they are strongly intimidating psychiatrists to switch clients over, and to back up their point they have stopped handing out free samples to local community mental health centers which they largely depend on to help low income clients.

My brother just died last week after being on INVEGA for 10 days. He had a terrible last 10 days to his life. He had severe severe muscle rigidy. perfuse sweating, jelly like legs, trouble breathing, extreme fatigue........ Then he had a cardiac arrest last Sunday. PLEASE STAY FROM THIS DRUG. It was not tested enough.
