I have read the last 60 pages or so of this thread and am amazed at the difficulties everyone is having while on this drug. And getting off of it doesn't seem to be much better. This invega shit must be the strongest AP given, correct? From what I have read on here it seems to be the strongest one anyway.
If you don't want to answer this question I understand and if you do thank you for your reply. What kind of behavior does one have to exhibit to be forcefully put on this shot by Court order. I can only conclude that it must be some type of repeated violence. I haven't known many schizophrenic people in my life but the few I met weren't particularly violent. Maybe frustrated or confused but not hostile. I may have it all wrong though. I just wonder what kind of circumstances people have found themselves in that a Judge has to order someone to get these injections. Is it because you did something once, got a second chance, and did the same thing again? Did you only do something once and then get ordered on it?
What happens if you don't show up for the monthly injection? Do you go to jail? A psych ward? Do they then forcibly restrain you and inject you anyway? The whole thing sounds horrible. And it must be for the people going through these things. This whole thread is just really sad and the posters on here sound absolutely miserable ON and OFF the drug. I just haven't read one post on here where it actually is helping anyone.
