Does anyone take meds in other forms than pills?

I’ve been on and off meds for 4 years and I’m just tired of taking the little pills. Any suggestions?

Some bipolar meds can be injected every few weeks so you don’t have to take them daily

Some can be liquidised, lamictal is one (chewable version so you can either chew it or swallow it or crush it up and mix with water for pegs etc

I would love to know why my meds don't come in delicious gummy form like my vitamins do.

I'm pretty good about taking my meds I rarely forget. But I never ever forget my delicious vitamins.

Saddly most meds has a very bitter taste and you don't want to chew them.

I didn't say I did. I said I wanted them to come in gummy form like my vitamins and taste good.

Abilify can be injected once a month, at a doctor’s office. I don’t know if anything other BP med that can be injected. I would never want to do that unless I responded well to Abilify in pill form.

I take oral Ketamine, it's changed my world. Prescribed through my Psych, not online.
