Are you introducing the invega as you taper the seroquel? If so, I think you might have antipsychotic overload.

Have you actually switched ovver to the Invega? If you have, you should be in the six mg range on the Invega to equal the Seroquel. Could have been a waking nightmare.

Hello
The seroquel I take only helps me about 85 percent of the way it gives me weight gain and heavy morning sedation that is why I need to get off onto something else
Thanks see.

You really need to find a mood stabilizer to balance everything out. Can you try some Lithium or Lamictal?
