Is Invega also used for the treatment of depression?
I have anxiety and depression. I’ve been taking Wellbutrin, Effexor, and Invega for treatment. I’m really pleased with the results. I feel so much better and am getting back to my normal self again. However, I don’t understand what Invega is used for. I googled it and it said it was a anti-psychotic used for the treatment of psychizophrenia. I’m pretty sure I’m not psychotic, and I don’t have psychizophrenia. So, why was I prescribed this medication?
Invega is used for the treatment of Schizophrenia, but it can also be used to control Anxiety, Depression, and the mood swings of bipolar disorder.
Anti psychotics such as invega seroquel and others sedate teh individual among other things. This sedating effect can calm down the mind to where the person does not feel anxious anymore. Combined with other medications it creates a great balance to help.
There are lots of meds psychiatric and not, that are used for an illness or disorder that they weren’t made for at first. Good luck with the meds
