How can i get these anti-psychotics out of my stystem

My understanding is that you can only be subjected to involuntary psychiatric treatment if your psychiatrist has deemed that, without such treatment, there is an imminent threat that you will cause serious harm to either your own or someone else's physical well-being. Depending on the type of treatment, this may require the agreement of two "independent" psychiatrists, and this can then be challenged in a tribunal. This is what I learned (from a psychiatrist) when I lived in NSW, anyways, so not sure if that applies to Queensland. If you're convinced your psychiatrist has got this wrong, I'd suggest you seek legal aid.

Yeah I'm considering going to the tribunal. Hmmm.. yeah I think he's definitely wrong, I just know I don't have much chance going my word against his. Like it's almost easier to just try to just please his desire for me to take the drugs or whatever and then just try to manipulate the situation so he chooses to take me off them soon. It's a bitch though. It's bullshit having some damn psychiatrist having the power to lock me up. I just hope there's no real bad side-effects from anti-psychotics.. I've taken them before but I can't really say whether it had an effect on me or whether it was the actions I was taking you know. My way of seeing is they're psychoactive drugs so they're going to be doing something to my mind and I feel good at the moment so I don't really want how I am right now to change so I don't want to take them.

Anyone have any opinions on the side-effects of anti-psychotics? Does it fuck your memory up, or concentration, or ability to think clearly? Anything like that?

It's pretty ironic but I just hope that these anti-psychotics don't put me in a worse place than I am now.

Last time I took them it kinda made me feel like kinda more calm or something when I was on them.. but I remember when I came off them I started having like bad dreams and I became aware of a lot of negative thoughts/beliefs and habits that I had almost like the drugs were covering up/ blocking me from seeing some of my problems. Anyone relate to that?

St John's Wort is a CYP2D6 Inducer so that may reduce it's effects?

Cool thanks. I just looked it up and found this to be true, possibly anyway ("The herb St. John’s wort might reduce levels of these medications in the blood. 1 This could lead to an increase in the severity of psychotic symptoms." - http://www.med.nyu.edu/content?ChunkIID=21694).

I might have to try that.

Anyone know how safe this is?
 
I believe he is talking about an IM depot injection which you usually get every 2 weeks, I don't think any of these ideas are going to help significantly :\
 
You seriously don't want to be messing with enzyme inhibitors or inducers, as they can have serious consequences. If you are voluntarily seeking mental health treatment you can refuse treatment. Even if for some odd reason he may be in the right, which I 95% don't think so by what you said, you should still stick up for yourself and try to refuse treatment. Say you want legal documents showing that you legally have to take the medication ordered by the doc or you want to discontinue treatment. If you actually need mental health treatment and disagree with is diagonosis or treatments go see a different doctor.
 
Yeah. Which I guess I am.. in this state.. maybe if I moved to another state, this state couldn't do anything to me?
