Hi, I’ll give a more in depth introduction but I was injected with the loading doses in February and the final 50mg shot March 05. So I’ve been off it for just over two months now but I’m hoping that since the last dose was so small it will cut off some time that I need to heal.
I was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia here in Vancouver, British Columbia and forced to take the injections against my will. Luckily my mom is a doctor and we managed to get the psychiatrist to take me off the injections so I’m currently off of all meds. This doctor confirmed I don’t have schizophrenia but yet she was the doctor that made me take the injections to get discharged from VGH so I don’t understand that at all. I’m technically still on extended leave which means I am able to get recalled back to the hospital if I don’t take my meds but since I am no longer prescribed anything then it’s kinda pointless.
I‘ve gotten bloodwork done on April 9th that showed my prolactin was high and my testosterone was very low, however I just got bloodwork done last week and my hormones are now within normal range which I’m very happy for. I still feel like dogshit and leaving my bed is difficult. Primary symptoms are issues with sleep and sexual dysfunction as well as general malaise. Vision issues and jaw pain too, lack of facial expressions and it kinda hurts to smile but I’m able to laugh and not be completely suffering like I was right after I got injected.
Would love to connect with people going through the same stuff especially if you are in BC like I am, we have very bad laws that allow the doctors to do this to people here. It’s disgusting and inhumane what I and others here have been put through in the name of psychiatry.
