THe best thing to do would yes get off the CTO (community torture order) (just thought of that one!). WHat ways can u get off it? 1/ hide from the fascists until they forget about u 2/play there game and get off at the end of your cto, if they try to put another one on you, fight it with a good/reasonable psychiatrist with a good intentions and morally think what theyre doint to u is wrong. ie, get your own psychiatrist to submit a second opinion ( you would have to find some kind of psych who is empathetic to overuse of psychotropic medications and who would state that the meds are detrimental for you and have been used for too long on you and its making u worse. present eveidence that long term neuroleptic drugs have shown bad outcomes and ud like to be tapered off. I know its hard, but if u have the time and the resources u may find a lawyer (I wouludnt suggest the CCHR) that would help u. (print out the mindreedom defence package to be submitted to your court case. These are some options. U can either fight them, get away from them or keep being treated like a sub human until they *finally* say u don't have to be on a cto anymore, but from what you've written, it seems like they've really got it into you that they want to u to be on this cto and renew it allot, because they see u as a 'troublemaker'...I don't know what advice to give u, I think u should find a *good* psychiatrist with integrity that would taper you off the meds and then leave u be . From your writing here, it is clear that you are not *psychotic" atm, whether u ever were is irrelevant. There are psychs out there that want to help with the human rights and civil liberties of ppl stuck in the mh system, if you could find one, that could be a viable option. Hope it works out for u razael, I really do, your posts make me really feel helpless, I wish this was a free country and more ppl could help u. Pls try and get into contact with mindfreedom Melbourne, its on the mindreedom Australia website that was put up here on the forum. Don't get angry at them, just inch youself away from them bit by bit, but please don't give them reason to renew another cto, when willthat ever end? GOOD LUCK mate. x

I would suggest looking into a private psychiatrist for a second opinion, in my area there are private psych's that bulk bill and are quite different in their thinking towards the medical model, they get to be becase theyre private. SO look for a private psych in your area who bulk bills and explain the long term affects are making u worse and u want to be tapered off. Once u are in meetings with a private psych, the local community mH team cant really touch u, as u are going private and that's your choice, u realize u have the choice to what psych that u want to see, they cant just say u have to see one of their public ones which fullow the rules of the mh arena that they work for, I think youll find a private psych, with a reputation for bulk billing and some free thoughts on mental health issues could be the way to go. Hope this helps.
