>Do you know how close it is to Risperidone?
Invega/Paliperidone is the active metabolite of Risperidone. paliperidone is 9-hydroxyrisperidone, i.e. risperidone with an extra hydroxyl group
If you didn't tolerate Risperidone, you may have trouble with Invega.

Don't be scared, there are other options such as ECT or medications such as Namenda and Mirapex.
