Invega does not cause inhibition of certain liver enzymes that risperidone does and therefore has fewer drug interactions.
Although they are going to be similar to each other as Invega (paliperidone) is the principal metabolite of risperidone, Invega does have a few pharmacodynamic differences.
One of these difference translates to data saying that risperidone can be more sedating, whereas Invega was found in a meta-analysis to be the least-sedating of the AAPs.
