“About a year into my journey, my doctor and I worked together to find a treatment plan that worked for me. Now I receive INVEGA TRINZA® once every 3 months and my schizophrenia journey is going well. I’ve graduated college, have a job, and am looking forward to finding more opportunities for independence.”
