I prefer injections. I cannot remember to take meds.

If clozapine was available by injection I would in a heartbeat but it isn’t. I’m going to talk to my pdoc about changing meds and if he says ok I will definitely get injections.

I think it would be nice not to have to worry about taking pills

I mean why is your pdoc against it

34

Not sure. Might be the cost? I’m just on the generic aripiprozole, but the maintena requires special authorization. I guess I’m med compliant too so I don’t really need it. I just think it would be neat

Back in the day they tried abilify found that didn’t work for me and suggested shots for me… I got the shot aristada and I can’t remember much about it the first time I started it… I do remember the latest time… Aristada hurts bad! Now they now have me on abilify maintana and I’m happy on it (I suggested the abilify family to my nurse while in hospital one time)

I never wanted to be on an injection but got forced to be on one when I wasn’t med compliant. It was invega Sustenna. Hated that stuff. Worst nine most

Been on the depot jab for 6 years now. But i take the pills too.

Its ok. It wasnt just because i wasnt med-complaint, cos i usually have been, but cos i got such a skinny arse and arms - it is annoying when i get the delayed pain after the jab, and usually expect a sleepless night.

Its suits me tho - Not 100% voice free, but it gave me insight to know they are not real and ignore them.
