Depot olanzapine vs pill - i'm in doubt?

I don’t know if i should take 15 mg olanzapine daily or have an injection of olanzapine once monthly.

I have to decide it before tomorrow.

What is you reccomendation? I see pros and cons for both kind of treatment

I think what it comes down to is control vs convenience.

It’s convenient to get the injection. It also might be better if you have a compliance issue or you have issues with forgetting to take meds.

If you are more into being able to control and adjust your dosage quickly, the pill is probably better.

I have been on both. I prefer pills. I like the control.

Anyway, those are the factors I have considered.

Thanks, you sum it up pretty precisely. I think i choose the depot, because i have a history of tampering with my meds.
