Thinking about taking monthly injections again

The Abilify is helping me. I’m scared to go on monthly injections again because I felt like it took parts of me away, and yet I dont know if thats true or not.

I am taking the pills as prescribed. Should I consider going back on the injections and will that be more effective against the depression, mania, or psychosis? Or should I add something else? I skipped my last appointment so I won’t be talking to the psychiatrist for a few weeks. I feel a sense of urgency because it could get worse at any moment. I haven’t been so stable. I can’t even handle six cups of coffee.

That’s a lot of coffee. I’d cut back.

Probably not. What dose of Abilify pills are you taking each day?

10 mgs. He keeps saying just keep things the same so I may be overthinking things. They told me I am trying to medicate away my problems too much, that there is no quick fix with medication. I think I could work if I had a little extra help. Right now its difficult. I need advice, guidance toward some sort of plan or path forward.

It’s always good to be on a depot because it’s said to work better for the illness with fewer sideeffects than the pill version. So go for your jab. I have been on the same depo for 25 years.
