My fiancé is on the max dose of invega and is experiencing many negative effects similar to that of a lobotomy. He can’t feel much emotion and is often very quiet. He does not think about consequences or feel any concern for that matter. He sometimes comes across as child-like and appears to be cognitively delayed. 

Off medication he is a very different person. He is highly intelligent and care very much for the people in his life. The downside is that he has very scary delusions, violent behaviour if made upset and can’t sleep. 

On his medication, he does very idiotic things that damage the relationship with no emotion about it or concern. He will justify a wrong action by saying he was bored and will have zero empathy. 

I’m at my breaking point but don’t want to give up on him because of the medications effects. He has lost everyone in his life and only has me. 

Is there hope that he can find a happy balance with meds? Please feel free to share your experience. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
