Can Dopamine And Serotonin Be Taken While On Invega?

I have a friend that was given invega. It is making their life a living heck. I have read where invega is used to lower the dopamine and serotonin levels in your body. Would it be a good idea to take dopamine & serotonin to help balance out? We really need help because she feels like she is going to die and looks that way as well.

Hello dear, welcome to"Ask a doctor" service.
I read your query and here is my advice. Paliperidone works in the brain, where it affects various neurotransmitters, in particular dopamine and serotonin, by blocking them and this relieve the schizophrenia symptoms.
Of course you should not take anything that increases serotonin and dopamine levels.
Hope I have answered your questions.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
