side effect wise not much.For positive effects thoughts are clearer,mood is more balanced. Weight gain is a potential side effect if you dont watch how much you eat. I gain 15 to 20 lbs, partly because I didnt watch what how much I ate, but I leveled out and didnt gain anymore weight from it. The first week I was more tired then usual, but that went away. From experience it really is a good psch med and I think itl work for you. Hope this helps.

Im not monitoring my blood sugar , why do you ask? are you doing it? This AP is new for me and I never had to make this on any AP
AND NOW IM REMEMBERING THAT I FEEL SO BAD THAT I CHECH MY SUGAR ONE WEEK AGO AND I HAVE LOW LEVELS
Do you think this is related to invega?
I was on seroquel in the past, it was a good drug for me
