Thanks I did read your other post as well. My situation is a bit complicated and I may be put on a court order for violence while I was in psychosis. If I find out thats not happening I will defo take your advice and refuse. As you said they can’t keep me in hospital forever and my mum told me she would try get me out.

Even if you are on a court order they can’t force you to take shots. I’m on a court order and I’m not even taking pills.

If it has something to with avoiding an assault charge and jail then I understand but don’t let them scare you.

Yeah I saw what happened it’s so sad. I have not been posting as much because all I wanna do is complain.

Even if you have nothing but complaints to vocalize at least you’re being vocal. I appreciate you trying to manage your posts and post things that are beneficial although, but the most beneficial thing we can continue to preserve and push forward is life. People are dying and we gotta fight against this

You might have been right, he’s on a CTO which is a totally different thing than a regular court order although. I’ll confirm for sure Thursday that I don’t have to take 2 more injections. I’m kinda mad I’ve taken 3 more injections then necessary if I don’t have to take them but I’m mostly glad it’s all comin to a closing if I don’t have to take any more shots
 
maybe you can try cobenfy or something @Invegatorture if you’re unable to control your symptoms when you’re off medication. It doesn’t act on dopamine receptors. You may be able to find a drug that you can live with.

I have looked into it and it’s not available in the UK yet. I’m going to focus on lowering my dose of abilify for the time being.

Yeah I didn’t want to get in the routine of spamming useless complaints. It’s fucked up what happened to brokenself but i’m not surprised he gave up after over a year of suffering from one shot.

I’m grateful i’m not suicidal I have too much hope things can get better. So don’t worry about me if I don’t post on here as much.

Hi Matthew. I was given 4 clopixol injections, last one 1 month ago and feel exactly how you do so know that you are not alone. My days are filled with doom and I feel as though this could be a death sentence. On a lighter note I have seen a couple instances of people recovering from clopixol and from time to time I really feel glimmers of hope but my thoughts are so restricted and my ability to engage with life in any meaningful capacity has been stolen from me. I really hope that one day we can get some relief from this. Our D2 receptor has been blocked by around 72% or more it’s not fair.

Hello there. Why were you given four? What happened to you?
 
Invegatorture said:
Struggling but pushing forward. Hoping this is all temporary.

I’m sorry to hear that and I really hope it is too. My whole ego is in disarray and it’s frightening. From time to time I’ll get a flicker of feeling but for the most part I’m subdued. Dopamine is obviously linked to confidence because my self worth has just plummeted. I’m giving myself three years for recovery but this life is just bleak. Not too long ago I had such drive and intellect but it’s all been severed. I was given a first generation antipsychotic so I think I have particularly bad odds…at one point I couldn’t think a coherent thought; it was just word salad in my head followed by an overwhelming silence. I hope we get respite friend we deserve it.

@Trueart2 keep us updated about whether you need to take those last two shots. If not recovery begins for you!

Will do, I’m excited I gotta spend some money for these supplements tho lol.

Sitting on Lions Mane, Fish Oil, and St John Wort.

Expect to buy: L-Glutamine, BPC-157, Uridine, Choline, Sam-E(turns invega from fat into water), Ashawganda

I had a manic episode and ended up sectioned. Refused the antipsychotic pills as I was fully aware of what they did to dopamine levels and so they stuck me on a first generation antipsychotic! I managed to escape in the end but only after suffering four 300mg injections. They destroyed me and I have made heaps of progress in a short period of time, which does give me hope but I’m still really struggling. I wish I would’ve just taken the pills.

Ain’t seen you in a while good to see you. We need to check up on each other at least once a day, the entire forums. Make sure we have some level of accountability for holding each other up and staying alive. With the newest suicide of @brokenself. We’ve lost a member who contributed and ended up giving up on life due to these injections.

I’m at work, so I’ll keep it short but this is our lives. We have to come together to do better in order to save ourselves from ourselves and this injection

So its confirmed? Broken self took his life because of these injections?

Confidence and brain chemistry are defo linked. I feel socially anxious and insecure on these meds.

Jesus christ, 4 clopixol injections is too much. How much progress did you make?do you feel any libido?Are some of your memories restricted? Do you feel good when you remember good memories? Do you feel good when you listen to music?

I’ve read of some people who received over 12 and I’m sure they wanted me to do more so lucky I escaped. I have no libido. Memories are definitely restricted it almost feels like early onset dementia in certain ways. I’ve been playing a bit of piano which has been quite therapeutic but my love of music has severely diminished and it used to be my obsession. I particularly loved jazz and now I’ve been zapped of any joy. I’ll be commuting suicide soon I think
