How has it damaged you?

Regardless if you don't feel the people treating you are working with you and helping you in a positive way, and you are being forced into the medication by law. Then my advice would be going out and finding some independent medical professionals to give you another opinion and engaging them to work with you for a more ideal result.

I'm not sure what would happen if you don't go to the scheduled appointment. Depends on the circumstances, if it's court ordered or the hospital's recommendation. I've been involuntarily hospitalized when I lived in Florida a couple times. When I was released, they gave me discharge papers with a follow up appointment. I never showed and nothing happened. But it might benefit you to go see the doctor and tell him that you don't want the invega, maybe you would like to try a different medication. Let us know what happens.

Ok so called my carwoker and and basically told him that I was done with treatment and I told him to tell the doctor that im not going to show up to his appointments and he said that's ok so I guess im in clear for now

Good luck man hope you don't have to go back there. Take care of yourself and you wont. Maybe you should consider some therapy
