> Developing depot injections of ADs would STOP this thing many depressives do with their meds. Playing games with meds, stopping and starting, going on and off the same med. Like if you got the depot injection of Prozac, it would last two weeks or whatever...like depot injections of anti-psychotics. Youd have no control over the med cause you couldnt take it pill form. Any changes you made would have to be confirmed with your psychiatrist.
Sounds like a reasonable idea, but what about when a med produces significant akathisia, or suicidal agitation?
