Steel Maiden: dont worry because that link was more detailed than the leaflet I got.
My own suggestion was that I told my CPN it may be better to try it for 6 months, and then review it in 6 months. If after 6 months time I dont like the injections (I hate needles!!) or if I find the side effects horrible, then stop it and return back to the quetiapine (which works when I do take it!). But this is subject to agreement with the psych. But on the other hand I am very wary of trying a new antipsychotic because I had a bad reaction to risperidone, so that is why I have not said yes. I would only try clopixol on the condition that if things go back then rather trying another antipsychotic, I go back onto the quetiapine.
I have an appointment with my psych in about 3 weeks time anyway, so I will see what he says, and then depending on his answer, I will decide either way.
