Invega® (paliperidone) is a medication that can be prescribed for the treatment of schizophrenia. By blocking the effects of certain elevated chemicals in the brain (such as dopamine and serotonin), the medicine can improve symptoms of schizophrenia and help prevent them from returning. Invega tablets, which are specially designed to slowly release the drug over time, are generally taken once a day.
 
Side effects of Invega can include a rapid heart rate, drowsiness, and internal feelings of restlessness or jitteriness. A few of the conditions you should let your healthcare provider know about before you take Invega include diabetes, seizures, and a narrowing of the gastrointestinal tract (such as a stricture).
