Monday and Tuesday were hard. Got my depot yesterday and today I felt great. I went out for coffee twice! This jag really helps me.
Now I get 60mg every two weeks but most folk I know get 100mg. Ideally I would like to try 50mg a week so I don’t have the last two days of hardship as it is running out.
Problem is I am on a healthy dose of oral quetiapine. But my doc said I could reduce my quetiapine and up the depixol. Will discuss this with my new nurse in two weeks time. She can liaise with my doc.
Have you ever tried depixol tablets? That way it would never be ‘running out’.

Yeah tried the tablets first but have had much better results with the injection. Less highs and lows. Will speak to my nurse but I am in no rush. In fact the one thing I have plenty of is time.
I think the doctors only increase the depot slowly so will see how things go.

I’m on Depixol injection. I have an appointment with pdoc tomorrow so going to ask them to put it up from 60mg to 80mg. One thing I like about Depixol is it doesn’t seem to be a weight gaining med as I’ve lost a stone in weight.

How long did it take you to lose that stone?
