If you live in the states, the police will not make you get the shot. But I would consider all the pros and cons before making a decision. Are you doing ok?

I'm not sure anyone can answer your question about the laws that govern your particular country. I don't think that anyone outside of a psychiatric facility can be forcibly drugged. People are usually hospitalized for two reasons--either they are a danger to themselves or to others. Beyond that people can be taken to jail for all sorts of different socially unacceptable behaviors but again, this depends on your country and even your region of the country.

Why were you on the drug in the first place? Do you have a decent relationship with the doctor that prescribed it and can you tell her/him that you want to taper off?
