Hi Lee 21,   I understand it would be convenient for your GP or family doctor to administer the Risperdal Cosnta injections.   However, your best best is someone who can monitor your symptoms, as only a psychiatrist or nurse practitioner specializing in psychiatry, could.   I'm skeptical and leary of primary care physicians prescribing drugs such as anti-depressants and other psych meds.   That's just my opinion, you may be perfectly OK with seeing your local practitioner for such injections.   So I suggest you call him or her and ask if he would be able to administer them, and if they can't, look into a community mental health center.   You may be pleasantly surprised at your options with ODSP, and I hope this is the case.   Lastly, if you do see a primary care person for your injections in a quick in-and-out visit, I strongly urge you to also see a psychiatrist or nurse practioner, and maybe a therapist.   Best, cb
