Forced to take antipsychotics

I have been forced to take antipsychotics yet again since i first took too much magic mushrooms and ended up being admitted to the hospital.
iv been weaned off them before, but last time i stopped taking them myself without telling my doc, i got a new doc then and she put me back on meds, i stopped cold turkey and the withdrawl effects gave me psychosis and now im forced to take a xeplion injection coupled with abilify tablets

i want to express my intense anger at the fact my psychiatrist made me take meds i didnt want, caused the psychosis and now is forcing me to take an injection because i "cant be trusted " to take pills

and the fact that these meds have life threatening side effects is pissing me off bigtime

im being forced by law to take the meds and threatened with being locked up again if i dont, i had to sign a sheet agreeing to take the meds or be locked up again,in the hospital

is there anything i can do to get off these meds ?

Where are you? Which country?

Force ... Threats... Lockup... and these slimeballs have the nerve to call what they do "help" ! And "care" LMAO .

Are you sure the law backs them to use force or did they just fake it ?

Do they have an actual court order signed by a judge ?

They told me "take these pills or we will inject you" in the hospital (fear based coercion, a psychiatry favorite) but left out the part where they needed a court order to force anything.

From the limited information you provided "i had to sign a sheet agreeing to take the meds or be locked up again, in the hospital" , I don't think they have any legal authority to force you to do anything.

You can move to any different country. Do not tell your new GP in the new country that you have any psychiatric torture, I mean diagnosis. Countries do not share citizen's medical information, and when you leave your country you are free of their harassment.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. Antipsychotics cause half the symptoms associated with schizoaffective disorder.

You are talking about drugs that literally block the chemical that allows you to feel good. I can't believe they force this stuff on people. I was possessed by a demon and after that I voluntarily got the injection, thinking it wouldn't be all that bad. Boy was I wrong. I almost died and I have never been this depressed in my life.

I can barely get out of bed and take care of myself. I know what you are going through thanks to the "medication" they put you on. Atleast it is not invega. Invega sustenna is the worst one they have.

Now I know what they are doing to people. I used to be someone who would say it is good to take your meds. They are taking people who are already suffering and blocking the chemical that allows them to feel good. It pretty much doesn't get worse than that.

Did they get a court order? If they did, there is no sanction for what happens if you don't comply. You get considered for re-hospitalization though. The court orders always have a time limit.
