ok so i vaugly remeber reading something about geodon being able to be admisnisterd by 1month shots or something to that effct. my memory is not very good ( actully itslike swiss cheese) so i dunno if i remeber right, anyone take thier meds this way. I have a huge problem with remaining med complient and my husband and i have been discussing it, to behonest whether i keep my child may depend on findng some way to stay on my meds. I think if this is possible it may be my best option..so does anyone know if this opton aplys to Geodon, Depekote or wellbutrin?? or if youve done this can you relate how side affects were?

I know Risperdal Consta is out now, and that's an injection that lasts a while. Haldol injections have been around forever, too. I didn't know there was one for Geodon. I say go for it, if you don't have tons of side-effects with the pill form.

I have so much trouble remembering to take my medication, getting my Rxs filled, etc. It would be really great if, say, my Wellbutrin could be administered in a shot. I know there are long-term birth control methods, but the problems associated with them are too great for me to really consider them seriously.
