"Amisulpride is a medication used to treat schizophrenia, depression, and postoperative nausea and vomiting. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain."

I think you should try to get out and go home before they put you on order.

They cant put me on order since i’am not in a danger for myself or other people, and i’am aware and lucid.

But yeah, at this point i should just go home, They cant help me and i’am wasting time here at this point..

I had to stop bupropion because i lost appetite and hunger, and it made my sleep worse, and i felt more anxious.

Now they want to give me Solian (amisulpride) 50mg, what do you guys think about? @Trueart2

That's an antipsychotic

Try to ask them for dopamine agonists and stimulants

What is community treatment order?

basically the government decides that you are too unwell to decide your own health care and forces antipsychotics on you if they think you are mentally incapable to make your own decisions. Its usually for repeat hospitlizations and actual schizophrenic diagnosis . Not for a one off marijuana psychosis.

a form of legalism where they exercise force above your free will

Today “they” changed completely their attitude with me:

As usual, i came back to my home for the weekend (from Friday at 8:00 am to Sunday at 6:00 pm), for that I have to ask the permission; I have to fill out a specific form to request leave that I usually do monday and got approved without any issue by Thursday. And it went like that even this time, i got the permission two days ago.
My mother and her partner came to pick me up at 9, as agreed with both the substitute psychiatrist and the nurses. But they don’t let me go, they told me to wait because the main psychiatrist wanted to talk with me before i leave for the weekend.
So they made us wait from 9:00 to 10:00, in the meantime a nurse asked me to come into the nurses' room/pharmacy and asked me to take this medicine that the main psychiatrist prescribed me (Solian 50mg, the antipsychotic).
I refused to take him, then the primary psychiatrist called me back to her office (after making me, my mother and her partner wait for an hour), strangely preventing my mother from joining me for the interview as usually happened instead.
He mentioned the worsening of insomnia, appetite and general anxiety with panic attacks (obviously caused by the Wellbutrin) as instead a worsening of my "disease" condition and for this reason he thought it appropriate for me to take the Solian 50mg.
Then she mentioned that she never approved my weekly leave, so I pointed out that her replacement, whom I had spoken to both Wednesday and Thursday, had approved the weekly leave despite the side effects of the Wellbutrin, which was then discontinued.

She replied that the leave had not been "prescribed" as was usually done, telling me that therefore neither she nor her substitute had given the ok for my leave for the weekend, so she was trying to make it seem like I was leaving without authorization.
Then she said that she doesn't like "being forced into a corner" (I don't understand what she was referring to since the one who was practically forcing me to do something, that is, take Solian 50mg, was her) saying that if I don't take this drug then I will be discharged from the clinic, and she invited me to think about it very carefully this weekend.

everything happened with extreme hostility, arrogance and psychological pressure on her part, something that had never happened until today, on the contrary, she was always very cordial, delicate and understanding towards me, even her gaze had changed as well as her attitude and her tone.
Then she basically rudely sent me away, and I was able to go out and go home for the weekend. I told both my mother and her partner everything, and they also found it very strange what the doctor did and how she treated me. They agreed with me that a medication should only be taken if the patient (me) needs it, and it's not right to blackmail someone into taking it or apply psychological pressure to get them to take it.
The doctor who behaved like this with me today is not the same doctor I've been dealing with during these two and a half months of hospitalization, or rather, yes, she is still the same doctor, but today she was a completely different person, someone I didn't know until today, or at least, I didn't know this side of her that finally came out.
So basically, if all goes well, I'll be discharged from the clinic on Monday "because I refuse treatment," meaning I refuse to take an antipsychotic despite not having any psychosis, delirium, or hallucinations. If all goes badly, however, and they somehow succeed, they'll force me to stay in the clinic and force me to take Solian, but in that case, I already know who to contact (the organization that defends the rights of psychiatric patients, and the legal commission, with which I already won my first ruling, two months ago).

I apologize if this story is a long read, but I wanted to share with you what a complete and sudden change in the manner and attitude of the head psychiatrist and her assistant toward me occurred. It's fair to say that today their true colors and intentions have come out: They don't really want to help me. @Trueart2

I too have been a victim of abuse from my psychiatrist

If you do not comply then they come up with threats

Just hang in there and comply until things change

I had my last Invega shot on December 8 2025. I am still struggling with loss of libido, anhedonia, poor sleep, and limited ability to feel substances. I can kind of feel weed but it's very muted, it's been stronger at other times after this shot. To those contemplating suicide, a shot of Invega remains in the body for a little under a year. This is a chart calculated from the maximum half-life of Invega, with a dose of 150mg. To those not feeling improvements at the 5 month mark, you may still be having sensitivity to the drug still in your system. Then, there is the time it will take for your system to recover. 5.5 months is quite early to be feeling hopeless as there is still Invega in the body.

Not every country but America, Canada UK , Australia are few I can think of. I know poland doesnt have it but other european countries do so it depends where you are.

Where did you find a chart and base on how many days for half life its calculated

I had a massive OCD attack and I barely escaped inpatient care where I would be labeled as psychotic. Never have OCD guys, people underestimate it and they don't understand when they are faced with the reality of this mental illness.

I'm not sure what to do about my anxiety. I'm scared that anything I can treat it with will bring back my PSSD symptoms and I'll be stupefied and anhedonic again.

OCD is a reason they put you in inpatient care?

I have OCD and people with OCD are often autistic. OCD can be annoying but it is no reason to be labelled psychotic and put in a hospital. Many autism experts think that OCD is a gift.
These psychiatrists will take any mental state, label it psychosis then mutiliate the persons brain with drugs and turn you into a human vegetable.
The psychiatrist who misdiagnosed me with psychosis was a devout christian whi kept referring to god. God is the greatest delusion, an imaginary character deluded people think is real. He was far more deluded than what they accused me of.

I said the same thing to them when they injected me with poision. I said i am not a harm to anyone or myself. They came up with another bs excuse to inject me. I have realized that many of these mental health workers and psychiatrists are envious and sadists, when they see you trapped and powerless, they wont let you go without the injections that they find so satisfactory, mainly because they love the misery and life ruining they bring. It gives them a false sense of power.

Yeah at this point, after my 6.5 years experience with psychiatry, i can confirm they all have a kind of “fetish” for mutilating people’s brain with antipsychotics, they handle that poison like if it’s candy and they are very OVER prescribed, even off label, for “sleeping” like they did with quetiapine (seroquel 400 XR) They gave to me for 1.5 year back in 2019, never told me they were giving antipsychotic off label for sleep, i was just ignorant and completely trusted the worst person you can trust in your whole life: a brain’s rapist, a psychiatrists.

It’s like dealing with a cop that only want to use his firearm, he can deal the problem with only speaking, maybe the teaser or pepperspray, then the handcuffs, he can chose to de-escalate and keep things calm, instead the first thing he do is pulling is gun and shot.

Psychiatrist act like that, they just have a weird fetish for damaging people’s brain, idk why they always try to do that. They are the sick ones, the dangerous ones.

 

[Deleted member 592205]

Based on my own experience, if you got injected and left with side effects or sympthoms after discontinuation, don’t try to seek help, from any doctors, because they will send you to a psychiatrist, or even worse, they will send a report about you to a psychiatrist, and the more you complain about the effects and sympthoms that the injections left you with, the more they can turn that against you and label you as “delusuinal”, force you into a psych ward and injected you again.

The best thing is to shut the fuck up and keep things in this or other forums, speak with people who were injected too, because only them can understeand you.

Forget to get any medical exams or help, there is none sadly, this is only you against what they did to your brain, and there is no help, anywhere you seek help you will only find hostility by the medical system.

Probably, i guess, by work experience, they (psychiatrists) maybe know that these injections can cause long-lasting or permanent effects on the brain, but they don’t give a fuck and honestly there is not an “antidote” that can reverse the damage, so basically they only can destroy the more your brain, and they will, trust me.

If I’am lucky i will leave that psych ward, monday, after 11.5 weeks, (2 months and 3 weeks), without being forced to take any other antipsychotic, and go back to my home, to my battle against this shit, on my own.

Trust me, i’am on Switzerland, i spoke with so many doctors, neurologists, i even go to the Universital Hospital of Zurich (maybe the best researched-based hospital in the whole Europe) and they labelled me as “psychotic” and sent a report of me to the Psychiatry department of the University Hospital where they prescribed me Fluoxetine (an antidepressants).

I Made a deal with a scientific researcher immunolog Who i have to pay 600$ to her just tell me “yeah i searched in the literature of medicine and spoke with 6 big centers of research here in Switzerland but there is nothing that it’s similar to your specific issue”.

There is no help, don’t seek for help, it will only turn against you, trust me, but if i remember right, @Trueart2 already that some months ago, and now i can confirm by myself, 19 months of desperate seeking for help, a lot of money and resources, and psychological stress, and false hope for nothing at all.

This is very insane. This is a bad experience for you. What are you even going to do now? Why is everyone manipulating us. None of us asked for thism

 

[anonymoususer777]

Has there ever been a time where a psychiatrist has not diagnosed anyone with anything and not perscribed them drugs?

 

[InvegaInferno]

@RisperdalConsta50mg I don't know how you handled being in the psych ward I can't stand it. I couldn't deal with my messed up sleep so I started taking a low dosage of quetiapine to help me sleep, just for a short period of time so I don't get that much effected, how much was your dosage? @moerez maybe it can help you to sleep, it sure knocked me out. I took 25mg now I cut it in half to see how it works in a more lower dosage.
