Does Invega Sustenna Cause Vocal Tics As A Side-effect?
My brother is taking invega sustenna and he has developed a vocal tic. I am wondering if switching his medication will help This began after his exposure to antipsychotics. He first began taking risperdal consta in Jan. 2016 and developed this tic in October 2016. In December 2016 we switched to invega sustenna and I think it made it worse.
