They have rare side-effects. Permanent ones. One is death, the others are facial tics, major tremors, and muscle contractions that don't ever relax.
My, let's say, self-destructive/self-sabotage thoughts shout: Take the shot to get those awful side-effects, esp DEATH.
ME, myself says, “take the shots so you feel and function better”
Now I am really confused.
Why can’t I just take some Zoloft at a high, high dose to treat my OCD and forget about a bipolar cocktail (ant-psych, mood stabelzer, and AD)?
Because my , let's say, self-destructive/self-sabotage thoughts shout: YOU AREN’T Bipolar. You aren’t sick. You are a FAKER.
I am confused. And I need support and hugs and advice.  Please?

This is a tough situation to be in! I myself recently quit taking meds because of the side effects and felt that I wasn't bipolar. Are there no other medication options? You really should consider the side effects of the shot. Why are they worried about you being med-compliant? It sounds like you're taking medication already. Have you considered getting a second opinion or seeing a different doctor?
