Hi /adv/,
I'm 21 years old and have been severely struggling with Bipolar Disorder Type II and Major Depression, since I was a pre-teen.
The reason I'm posting here is to ask if anyone knows of any kind of long-lasting injectables (lasting at least a week or two per injection) that could help me with this, versus having to take pills every single day.

I'm currently prescribed Abilify 20mg and Prozac 80mg, once per day.

The medication works when I do take it, but especially when I'm in severe lows like this, after not taking it for weeks or months at a time (this has been a frequently recurring problem since I was a kid, with taking medication regularly), it's so difficult to just break through that mental wall and just force myself to take a stupid pill every day for weeks, until things get better in my head.

I just want something that could help me, without me having to worry about taking pills every day for this.

I've already consulted my psychiatrist about this matter and my distaste for taking pills, but she told me that she isn't aware of anything along those lines..

Have same diagnosis. Used to be on meds. Honestly yoga and meditation have helped more than anything. I know I will ALWAYS have moments but I can be a productive member of society. I am actually happy and have learned to cope.

Everyone is different but it's worked for me. Not an easy path though.

Abilify will give you diabetes.

The biggest problem of long acting injectables outside the hospital setting is, the side or unwanted effects can't be reversed easily. So, a long history of continually using the drug is useful in determinig whether you're suitable for long acting injectable form.
Other than that, it's up to your doctor to evaluate whether it's beneficial in your case.
