Provided are methods for improving resuspendability of a paliperidone palmitate extended-release injectable suspension within a syringe, for reducing a force required for injection of a paliperidone palmitate extended-release injectable suspension, or for reducing the likelihood of incomplete injection of a paliperidone palmitate extended-release injectable suspension comprising maintaining the syringe in a desired orientation during shipping of the syringe that varies from the orientation of the syringe during pre-shipping storage. Also provided are populations of syringes that respectively contain paliperidone palmitate extended release injectable suspension, wherein each of the syringes have been shipped to a destination, and the syringes were each maintained in a desired orientation during shipping of the syringe that varies from the orientation of the syringe during pre-shipping storage. The present disclosure also provides pharmaceutical products comprising a paliperidone palmitate extended-release injectable suspension within a syringe for administration to a patient suffering from schizophrenia, wherein the syringe has undergone pre-shipping storage and has been shipped, and wherein the syringe has been maintained in an orientation during the shipping that varies from the orientation of the syringe during pre-shipping storage.
