I am asking because i currently have a diagnosis of personality disorder NOS. I was on a low dose of Zyprexa (5mgs) prior to that but was not taking it regularly.
This was due to a long term problem with remembering to take daily doses rather than deliberate non compliance.I live in the UK and prior to the PD dx i had a 30 year history of being diagnosed with schizophrenia and then with schizoaffective disorder.
According to my pdoc i experience psychotic symptoms. Sometimes i can accept this(especially when stressed) but at other times i think 'What psychotic symptoms?!'I always thought there would be quite strict criteria for putting people on Consta given that,as you say,it is more expensive than generic risperdal.
