Hi Jeroen.
You know that Invega is a metabolite of Risperdal. You really should ask the doctor what are those side effects that can happen in real life. One really does need a medical background to be able to interpret properly the side effects as listed by the drug manufacturer and any literature that uses it as a reference. Most of the side effects listed, you will never see.
I saw one particular combination work wonders for a girl I know. She had psychotic depression. She had been taking Risperdal 3.0mg. It helped only partially. To this, Seroquel 100mg was added with the intention of increasing the dosage to 600mg. However, she responded so completely to the 100mg, she was left on it. No more psychosis. No more depression. She was also taking Wellbutrin.
So... At some point, I would try combining Risperdal or Invega with Seroquel.
If the Abilify is not hurting you, I would still raise the dosage to 20-30mg and just leave it there for awhile to see what happens. The other drugs will always be there for you to investigate.
