Dear Bluelighters who are victims of paliperidone-caused injuries.
I am writing to ask you all to take action. What we all need is healing, help and justice. This means we must push society, medicine, science, financiers, politicians, business people and so on to help research a cure/treatment for paliperidone and antipsychotic induced depression and sexual dysfunction, as well as other incurable, untreatable, terrible, unbearably painful, long-term and sometimes permanent "side effects" aka injuries of antipsychotics that include tardive diskinesia, neuromuscular problems, central breathing problems and permanent weight gain and many others. Psychiatrists and psychologists have done virtually no research into treatments/cures for these problems and I have irrefutable proof that vast numbers of them continue to not care and refuse to do any research nor spread awareness nor take any action on these problems.
We need financial help, because our injuries have resulted in lost functionality, lost faculties, inability to work, inability to go to school, inability to take care of ourselves and dependents, inability to do basic activities and enjoy life, inability to have romantic relations, etc. We have absurd medical and non medical expenses arising from all these injuries.
We are victims of terrible crimes and injustice. There is plenty of side effects literature, doctors' testimonies, neurochemistry scientific consensus and, of course, our first hand accounts and other first accounts, that prove these injuries, especially depression and sexual dysfunction that is always severe and has no cure, no treatment, no relief whatsoever, come from antipsychotics and particularly paliperidone. I have irrefutable proof that the profession and many providers have engaged in deliberate deception and sabotage, to prevent these dangers from being known to patients beforehand and to prevent victims and the public from recognizing and taking action on these injuries. Irrefutable proof exists from lawsuits settled for hundreds of millions to billions of dollars against the pharmaceutical companies that make antispychotics, including paliperidone and Janssen. They were guilty of falsifying side effects studies and concealing the dangers of these drugs. They were guilty of illegally marketing them. Therefore, we have more reason to believe that existing side effects studies downplay the risks of these dangers, corroborated by higher rates reported by first hand accounts.
These antipsychotics are so dangerous it is not acceptable to administer them to living beings--science must find safer ones. I am not eschewing their therapeutic benefits, I am simply saying the truth that they are unacceptably dangerous.
Antipsychotics' therapeutic benefits can never be separated from their injurious effect. The supposed good intentions of mental health providers makes no difference, there is no safe way to administer these drugs except by letting them sit in the dark collecting dust never to go near living organisms. It is clear that they are tools of aggravated assault, sexual assault, rape, torture, permanent terrible incurable untreatable injury, strangulation and even murder/genocide. Everyone who experiences these injuries calls it "torture." They always interact, internally, with the human sex organs and sexual system. They do not produce such horrific, incurable, untreatable, long-term and sometimes permanent sexual injuries out of nowhere but as a result of repeated interaction with the human sex organs. Everyone who experiences these injuries feels severely violated. I have spoken with Sexual Assault experts and counselors and they agree, what has happened to us is without a doubt sexual assault if not rape, if not repeated sexual assault and rape. I argue that every single administration of these drugs is a attempted aggravated assault, attempted grievous injury, attempted sexual assault, attempted rape, attempted torture, attempted strangulation and even attempted murder and genocide. These antipsychotics cannot produce sexual pleasure, like sex toys for instance and they have no sexual health function, like a gynecological exam for instance. Given the numbers of people exposed to these antipsychotics across the world for endless decades, given the extensive proof of these injuries and given that mental health providers engage in irrefutably provable and willful deception and sabotage in regards to disclosing these risks and recognizing these injuries, they have no excuse: they know that these are unacceptably dangerous weapons and tools.
I am not against psychiatry and psychology but I am in fact the most pro psychiatry and psychology person on the earth since I am standing up for its own rules, the rules of medicine, law, truth and reason, human values and virtues, health, professionalism, business and so on. I stand up for effective and safe medicine and therapies and I stand up for what psychiatry and psychology should be but have long failed to be. I am not telling anyone to stop taking medication that provides them with irreplaceable therapy and benefits, I am merely telling us that we must fight against the dangers of dangerous medication, we must demand safer medication, we must demand justice for the crimes that have been committed against us, we must make sure the entire world acknowledges our injuries, we must get the help we deserve and we must secure the effective treatment/cure for our injuries that we deserve but thus far does not exist, owing at least to the negligence and lack of effort and even deception and sabotage of psychiatry, psychology and medicine.
In European Christianity, there has long developed what was known as just-war doctrine. This says that a person has to defend themselves when they are threatened with injury and/or death, because to fail to do so would be criminal to oneself and society. I am citing that same idea when I am asking all of you, who are victims and who know victims, to take action, instead of waiting around, sitting around doing absolutely nothing. Work on securing that treatment/cure, since none so far is known. Work on securing true justice and true help for yourselves.
Some moderators would warn against people contacting each other. Therefore, normally, I would tell each of you as individuals what you can do to secure healing, to secure justice and help. However, having done all these things myself, I can promise you that operating on your own will achieve, in all likelihood, zero success. If we are to have any chance of success, we must unite and work as a group to persuade any and everyone.
For local law firms and local government, they only respond to local constituencies and so people from afar who contact them will be ignored. However, we can still help each other by providing quotable and provable testimony that individuals within the constituency can share with their local law firms and government. When it comes to national government and national law firms and contacts of the type who do not have the ability to reject appeals from people based on the constituency excuse, we must work together.
You can DM me or see my website links in my signature for ideas on who to contact--government contacts, journalists and news media, law firms, the profession of psychology and psychiatry itself, business people, religious leaders, NGOs, psych-critical activists, etc.
Every single one of us should contact Janssen to report the problem
"1-800-526-7736 to speak to a clinical expert regarding your question or to report a possible adverse event or product quality complaint."
Every single one of us should submit a report about paliperidone to the FDA's MedWatch (if you are from the United States).
Mind Freedom International wants to hear from you and your stories, too:

Author: Dr. David Healy Last updated: 2016 For the most part, antipsychotic side effects will clearly seem like side effects. There are, however, a number of effects brought on by the drugs that may seem more like a worsening of the illness. It is important that you are able to tell the...

Every single one of us should find our state (if you are in the United States) professional licensing organization/Medical Board to make a complaint about all mental health providers who administered paliperidone to you, because they are guilty without a doubt of severe injurious medical negligence and medical malpractice, if not countless other crimes--your state should also have a means of complaining about health care facilities, aka the clinics and hospitals who employed the mental health providers who injured you.
Every single one of us should seek legal help and talk to law firms, locally who can pursue personal injury and medical malpractice cases against said mental providers and their clinics and hospitals. Every single one of us should seek legal help from national law firms in order to file a suit against the pharmaceutical companies that make these injurious antipsychotics, in our case specifically, Janssen. Especially for the national law firms, especially for a class action suit, these are contingency based and would not require any financial investment from you, only you devoting your time, energy and disclosing some mental health records and medical records. For national law firms, we can and absolutely should work together and even settle on a few or one single law firm to represent us all, in the case of the United States. In the case of any of you being victims outside the United States, you'll have to team up with co-nationals who are victims and pursue these same avenues that exist in your jurisdiction.
Every single one of us should contact our national governments, national health services, national executives and national justice departments to tell our stories en masse--remember, if we are one at a time, they will ignore us. If we flood them together, they have less ability to ignore us.
When we flood the national and international news media, someone is bound to pick up our story. When our story breaks, the government can no longer ignore us since the public will now be aware.
Every single one of us should contact our local governments--local executives, local justice departments, local lawmakers. We need to use each others testimonies (since non-constituencies cannot contact local government) and we also need to organize and unite with fellow victims in the same local jurisdiction so we have a massive voice with local government that cannot be ignored. Otherwise, believe me, they will ignore us. We need to demand that they take action, that they enforce oversight on this out of control profession, that they take action to address these dangerous drugs and that they remove any statutes of limitation and damage caps that exist for these crimes, because there should be none. These doctors have committed, as I've said, aggravated assault, sexual assault, rape, torture, grievous injury, strangulation and even in some cases murder. Typically for these crimes very long statutes of limitation exist and sometimes none at all. The same goes for damage caps. These psychiatrists, psychologists, their staff and these pharmaceutical companies need to do the maximum prison time for their crimes--there is absolutely no question. Justice must be served, the monetary compensation not only for suffering and expenses but for ability to live is needed for all of us victims.
Every single one of us should unite to contact national leaders, business people, scientists and doctors to help research a cure/treatment for antipsychotic induced injuries, including depression and sexual dysfunction. We can all flood their contact information--email, mail, Linkedin, social media, phone numbers--en masse.
We should contact our religious authorities, too--they have an absolute obligation to help us. Again, if we only talk to them one by one, they will of course ignore us. If we flood them en massse, they cannot ignore us.
I am working on gathering more contact information, rather than just email, like mailing addresses, phone numbers, Linkedin and social media links.
Thank you
