Depot neuroleptics

Posted by ed_uk on November 5, 2004, at 13:16:30

Hello everybody.......

In England, depot antipsychotics/neuroleptics are widely used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and various personality disorders. They are particularly popular in patients who do not take their tablets as prescribed.

Depot antipsychotics are injected into the buttocks in order to provide up to 4 weeks of antipsychotic effect.

Some of the most popular drugs given as depot injections in the UK are:
1. Haloperidol (Haldol)
2. Flupenthixol (Depixol)
3. Pipothiazine (Piportil)
4. Fluphenazine (Modecate)
5. Zuclopenthixol (Clopixol)
6. Risperidone (Risperdal Consta)

I would be very interested to hear the experiences of anyone who has ever be given a depot neuroleptic. What effects did the drug have on you?

Ed
