4Recommended Doses for Paliperidone
Most doctors suggest taking paliperidone tablets one time per day. The typical dosage might range from 3 to 12 milligrams. In most cases, you will start with a low dose and then slowly increase it over the course of a few weeks. Tablets need to be swallowed whole rather than being chewed, broken, or crushed. If you are able to tolerate these pills well, then long-acting injections can be considered. This is particularly useful when you cannot adhere to the treatment, do not want to take pills, or often forget the medications. [4]
