I'm thinking about going on dissolvable meds again then they can't come up. So the only options are ability and zypexa. I've taken them both before. Zypexa made me sleepy and didn't take away the symptoms and I had breakthrough symptoms with ability. I'm likely to panic and evacuate my medication for the first little while. Id say I have the option of injection too but then I would have to leave the house and that's not happening. I know I need to be on something but convincing myself that taking the medicine wasn't a bad idea that I can fix for long enough to do it's job seems impossible.

I think lamictal may have an ODT (it may be a chewable) and depakote has sprinkles you put on food and swallow that way. I know you need an AP but maybe one of those could be a support med?
You did pretty well while on the injections of Abilify didn't you? Where I did home health we had a program that provided 2 nurses who did FT psych stuff and they gave injections. I think that you could be on there caseload just for the injections. Might be worth calling some home health places. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.

Lamictal odt was good for me. I stopped it because of a change in psych Dr who no longer wanted to give me odt. I had to many med compliance issues with lamictal with the pills.
Abilify injection would seem to run out week 3 and it was hell getting me to the clinic and making sure the right nurse was on duty or I would refuse it. The odt will ability only goes up to 15 and insurance won't pay for two tablets a day. So my best bet is to see about zypexa again. Now you can go up to 30mg maybe that will make a difference. __________________ Dx: Me- SzA Husband- Bipolar 1 Daughter- mood disorder+ Comfortable broken and happy "So I don't know why I'm tongue tied At the wrong time when I need this."- P!nk My blog |

Saphris is dissolvable too. The black cherry one tastes like a warhead and the regular tastes like butt though. Does abilify have injections that last supposedly for three months now?

There's also an Invega injection. I know that doesn't solve the difficulty getting the shots, just thought I'd throw it out there.
