I'm was receiving a monthly depot of zuclopenthixol and due to weight gain my psychiatrist is changing me to a daily 10mg aripiprazole tablet. The reason I was on a depot was my refusal to take tablets but I'm assured that the antipsychotics will still be in my system and I won't get unwell again.
I have had negative side effects with the depot but I don't know whether it's the medication or recovering from my first psychotic episode. I hope you manage to get your medication sorted. Thanks for reading.
