Thanks for the input, Lar.
As I've noted in a reply to another poster, I do think that her treaters are going the depot route because of potential non-compliance, however this would be more due to fear of going out (and thus not re-filling her prescriptions). A nurse comes to administer the drug, so I'm not sure why she couldn't bring tablet version. It's so hard not being there and asking the doctor myself.
She has been on both Prozac and Paxil in the past, and whilst I was there, was compliant in taking them. She seemed to be doing better on the Paxil to me, however I'm not "in the loop"!
I'm pretty concerned about the choice of drug, and everyone's feedback is solidifying that concern.
Time to get involved!
Thanks again,
Jas
