hi! I'm not really a fan of depot injections...they kind of take away the "free will" aspect of treatment that I think is highly, highly important, especially when the person involved is **not** floridly psychotic and an obvious risk to him/herself and/or others. Besides, at least one atypical--Risperdal--is currently available in depot form. I think Zyprexa is as well, but I'm not entirely sure. A lot of patients "fail to comply" because the side effects from a given drug or drug combo are simply intolerable...given that, depot injections seem to both violate the patient's free will and the doctor's duty to **improve** the quality of life for those they treat.
