Hi Scott

One of the main problems with depot neuroleptics is that only a limited range of high-potency neuroleptics are available in depot form. The recent addition of Risperdal as a depot may have made treatment more tolerable for some. The side effects of high-potency depots can be severe and very prolonged. In the UK, a lot of people take daily procyclidine tablets to reduce the extrapyramidal side effects of their depot.

I know someone on Clopixol depot (zuclopentixol). Even though he has little awareness of most things (!), he does know that the depot makes him feel very restless. Given his mental state, it seems that his complaints about Clopixol have been completely ignored. This is something that worries me.

Regards

Ed
