I have tried numerous treatments for my mood disorder through 25 years or so. 95% of them have been taken orally. A few were subcutaneous injection. I must admit I was sqeemish the first few times I administered it myself, but that quickly disapeared. If I ever find an effective treatment, I will most likely need to take it the rest of my life. It is not known the long term effects of these psychoactive meds on the liver and kidneys, it would seem prudent that we do anything to lesson the load on these and other organs if possible. The few treatments I injected I used a basic seringe. There are more advance seringes I understand that make it even easier.
On a similar note,new discoveries like the Neuropeptide S system seem encouraging. But when I read articles about it they say eventually there might be a drug developed to effect this system in a positive way. That may be well and good, but why can'nt we see if an injection of NPS is an effective treatment for humans like it is in rats. Anyone had similat thoughts. Thanks

~~~Why would injectables be kinder on hepatic or renal functioning? I'm thinking process and elimination functions are still required, regardless of route of administration.
Do I not understand?
