Depot shots are usually antipsychotics, like Haldol. Those are the drugs most known to cause akathisia or restlessness. I hope you've been getting some benefits to make the side effects worth it. To my mind, that would be a hard trade off.

Hey there it's been just over a week of taking them and although it's not as severe it's still bad especially at night

Sounds pretty miserable to me. Maybe that depot shot is not worth the distress it is causing you.

I wish I could stop the depot but I'm under a compulsory treatment order I must show up for it or I'll be called upon by my Psychiatrist and his team and either forced to take it or made to go in the hospital

I'm sorry you don't have more control. I hope these depot shots offer you something of value.
