ropinirole (Requip) 5 mg ( extended release tablets ) will be the only solution for all our problems caused due to paliperidone . I really believe that this tablet will in help to fix all the problem this must be the only possible solution for the side effects caused by paliperidone. Because it is an agonist and works on all the receptors on which invega blocks.
wiki quotes
REQUIP (ropinirole hcl) is a non-ergoline dopamine agonist with high relativein vitro specificity and full intrinsic activity at the D2 and D3 dopamine receptor subtypes, binding with higher affinity to D3 than to D2 or D4receptor subtypes.
Ropinirole has moderate in vitro affinity for opioid receptors. Ropinirole and its metabolites have negligible in vitro affinity for dopamine D1, 5-HT1, 5-HT2, benzodiazepine, GABA, muscarinic, alpha1-, alpha2-, and beta-adrenoreceptors
The solution is to create lifestyle changes along with compliant medical therapy. No drug will solve your problems.
There are a few things to consider. But first, it shouldn't be hard to do your own research.
1. Do you want to activate the receptor which is theorized to be overactive in you, and which has caused you enough pain already? Even so D1 is the main target for increasing the deficit of dopamine in the cortex of many schizophrenics, not D3 or D4, and definitely not D2. Are your symptoms stable according to your doctor? I wouldn't even think about adding a cognitive-enhancing agent without having positive symptoms stable first.
2. The complete mechanism of most drugs is unknown. We still don't really know why anti-psychotics work. We just have correlations, not causation. That said, this point may counteract the above.
3. Regardless, doing your own research based on one wikipedia article is dubious at least. When I try to make a big point, I want to have at least three peer reviewed, fairly recent articles.
4. Antipsychotics can take six months for the full benefits to be reaped. Particularly what you describe is often alleviated greatly if you just stay on the medication. It revamps your life, probably more than any other drug class. It takes time to adjust.
5. That compound you cited is prescribed for restless leg syndrome and the extrapyramidal side effects of antipsychotics, apparently. My opinion is that there are better drugs out there for cognitive side effects.
6. My last point is that schizophrenia is such a diverse disease that things which work for one person will exhibit paradoxical effects in another much more often than in other diseases, from what I've heard. This link shows that it can exacerbate psychosis:
http://journals.psychiatryonline.org/article.aspx?articleid=178111, while this one says it can be useful
http://www.clevelandclinicmeded.com...try-psychology/schizophrenia-acute-psychosis/. The latter is a really good resource for schizophrenia, surprised I found it.
The most important thing I have to say is, going off something I said above, we can't tell you what to take because we're not doctors and we're not there in person. Only a medical professional who sees you in person can tell what might be useful and what might not be.
