Interesting. I am on the fluanxol depot myself. Can you remember how often you got that depot? I get mine every 3 weeks

4

I got mine every month and would feel like I am losing it for about a 3-5 days everymonth and then start normalizing about a day or two after the injection

Yeah that is pretty much where I am.

Fluonxol caused a feeling of restlessness in me and didnt prevent my relapse, the relapse was the main reason for switching to risperidone which is more effective. I also have less anxiety on risperidone and noticed I smoke much less on it

For me the fluanxol depot gives me less side effects of the respiridone oral tablets. I got restlessness on fluanxol oral tablets though

You could ask them to switch you to every two weeks that usually solves the problem of too low an antipsychotic in the blood plasma.
