How Long Does Invega Take to Work?
After the first few weeks of taking Invega, it is important to inform your doctor about your symptoms and improvements. In general, it often takes a couple of weeks for the drug to take full effect. During this period, your healthcare provider needs to monitor your conditions and decide whether the drug is suitable for you. People with schizophrenia might need antipsychotic treatment lifelong. The duration of treatment can vary, depending on the illness and symptoms:
– Delusions, disorganized thinking, and hallucinations might improve in the first 1 or 2 weeks
– Desire and motivation could improve at least after 1 or 2 weeks
– The longer you take Invega, the better the symptoms would be
– It often takes around 2 to 3 months before the full effect of Invega takes place [2]
