The Invega Nightmare

[uncouth_capybara]

I hear you loud and clear on the Invega-- One thing to know, though, about Olanzapine is that smoking cessation can cause toxic and potentially fatal levels of it to be in your body! Apparently smoking (tobacco or marijuana or anything else you smoke, not vaping edibles or patches as it has to do with the smoke itself) makes it so your body needs more of the Olanzapine for the medication to work. I learned about this in today's Discord video chat, from Skye's slides.

This is not to say that you should avoid Olanzapine or any drug for that matter.... As you said yourself, it's about minimizing risk.

All the side effects that exist and can happen truly amaze me. Thank you for a very informative post about the Invega injection.
