I don't think it would be sensible to use bromocriptine (a dopamine agonist) to treat the side effects of a dopamine antagonist (Invega).
If a dose reduction of Invega is not possible, it might be useful to try a different antipsychotic. Alternatively, it might be beneficial to add a low dose of an anticholinergic such as benztropine (Cogentin), trihexyphenidyl (Artane) or procyclidine.
