> Ed sounds like the depot shots are for the non compliant. I had not idea they caused so many side effects.
The Zyprexa depot generally just causes the same side effects as Zyprexa tablets. The 'post injection syndrome' is uncommon, but serious. This is why people need to be observed for 3 hours after each Zyprexa depot.
Zyprexa is the only depot which requires a 3 hour observation period. With other depots antipsychotics, people can go home straight after.
