I used to take it orally, I came off it when in hospital and switched to depot of a different drug.  The main difference I noticed was that my sleep was disturbed when I came off it and would lie awake for most of the night.  I didn't have any other effects, can't remember if I had a gap between coming of it and starting the new drug.

To be honest i don't recall experiencing any side effects, but it is difficult to be certain as i started another different drug almost right away, so i'm not sure what was down to which drug! Could you talk with your psych about what to expect? xxx
