That makes sense! You’re excited that you’ll have another month of wonderful non-psychotic existence and it’s great to see you working on your continued recovery!
Congrats on being on meds!

Been thinking about an injection, too, since I’ve been haphazard with my pills this October and November (took it last night, though)

injections are quite a pain. got one in my arm and I couldn’t sleep on that arm or lean on it without feeling like I was bending a bone.

I probably should have asked the nurse for an injection in the bum. :sunglasses:

I don’t think it’s wrong. It’s like what @HQuinn said you are excited about not having to worry about a psychotic episode or some symptoms.

Now let me ask you this?

Does the injection make you want to crawl out your skin and give you insomnia? The pill does for me.

no not for me, but i’ve heard similar stories as yours

I was on abilify tablets and hated every second of it. Is the injection form of abilify different to the oral???

I wasn’t stable on abilify…I didn’t get the shots I was on pill form but it wasn’t a stable drug for me. cost me everything.
