Are you on pills or injecting for your sz? Why?
I’m on the injection because when I was in psychosis I thought all the pills were placebo. It has been a blessing in disguise. The injection just makes me so much more stable and my life easier.

Pills for me. They’re keeping me stable so I won’t be changing to injection.
I’m on pills, but I wish I was on injectables. So much easier. I’m always worried I’ll start getting delusional about the pills. Plus sometimes I think I’m fine and don’t want that to get in my way of taking them. If that makes sense.
pills. I prefer them
Pills… I’m on so many not having to take one won’t mak a difference

pills. you quit them whenever you want…
I was on injections but ive switched to pills.
For some reason i prefer the process
I’m on an injection but it makes my eyes look too medicated and I think it’s because you get all the meds at once. I think I’m going to switch to pills in a month.
I’ve always taken pills, the thought of injections scares me. I am so sensitive to meds so if I get terrible/debilitating side effects if I did injection I’d just be stuck w them for a really long time.
I take both pills and injections
Pills put you in control but with that comes responsibility. Injections provide a more even distribution of medication. I prefer a pill.
I get an injection every 4 weeks so I don’t have to remember to take a pill everyday plus the side effects from pills such as dry mouth.
The Abilify injection worked very well for me too.
i take both…
I take so many pills what the point of having an injection if I’m still going to take the other pills anyway.
As I told my pdoc, makes no sense
If I ignore vitamins, then It’s just 1 pill each night and that’s it!
Keeps me stable and works to a extent!
I’m on pills, which is basically 10mg of haldol, and so far it’s working.
pills for me
injections hurt like hell, plus they give you a bad soar pain after a while.
pills. This way I can change them when needed - if they aren’t working out.
I am on pills. One of my previous pdocs was frustrated with me when i kept on stopping my meds and threatened to put me on injections if I don’t keep taking my meds. That shook me up and I havent stopped meds since. I can’t say I like injections, i hate needles.
