Is it possible to get all psychiatric medications in intramuscular or intraveinous form? Or is it just some medications like antipsychotics that are given this way.

yeah...risperdal I think comes in 2 injection forms: short-acting, and depot. Some of the atypicals only come in a low-dose injection, for agitation. Valium, Ativan, and some barbiturates are still produced in injection form. I don't think the US market has injectable ADs and injectable amphetamines haven't been available for quite some time.
