Blair Sterling I never knew this kind of evil existed

@@blairsterling6141 Agreed. Did you recover okay?

What did Blair say?

There are people who need them though. Some people are so paranoid and delusional that they can't function without them, without them they live in a different world where they can't trust anyone, even their closest friends, they can't eat because they think somebody put poison in the food etc. On them they are actually pretty normal, perhaps some laziness and loss of emotion yes but that's better than constant psychosis.

@@SSDDssed Wrong; these meds COMPOUND SYMPTOMS!!!!! Sorry 2 say. The nasty adverse (negative) effects far outweigh the "benefits"; there4, antipsychotics r very unnecessary.

girl, I have been taking antipsychotics for 2 years and i'm stopping it because i have anhedonia because of it which is no emotions, and i'm becoming fatter 200lb. not only those 2, many more side effects of these drugs. I hate my life ever since they gave me this injection. i'm stopping this drug this month. I am done feeling this way because of this drug which is invega susstenna. I used to be so healthy before given this drug, but now i'm near death because of so much fat. I hope you get better. LMK if anything has changed!

How are you "spiritually?" What have these drugs done to your connection with the Universe?

@@point8250 don’t give medical advice online.

For 8 years I was convinced I had no empathy and I had anti social personality disorder but now I’ve realized all my medicine is the culprit as to why I don’t feel and can’t think straight

same thing happened to me, you have to stop the medicine and have connection with God (Allah) by reading the quran and it will be better , i've tried this i had no emotion no feelings at all cant think like my brain stopped no motivation always tired , it's from the medicine it stops you from being with your higher self , and i have something for you guys to try remember psychosis is just devils whispering telling you false things once you stop the medicine come closer to God and you will be amazed , trust me i've tried and im still but there is fast progress with the way of God

that is awlful. I wonder when do I get to feel like myself again. I took a few antipsychotic injection and I feel like they have ruined me and I probably wouldn't be able to recover.

so sorry to hear that. :(

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNKclph0s9jdmJ8.html Hope this can help you! I'm on an anti-epileptic for my Bipolar Disorder. I've been on plenty of antipsychotics as well and know of all of the hellish side effects. Oh and Dr. Berg also has a video on which vitamins antipsychotics (and other medications) deplete from your body.

@@Jellostyle Hi did you recover from the injections? If so how long did it take?

how are you now

I can relate. Same happened to me. Fuck my doctor

Yeah the side effects proving you need more is the sick demonic world of psychiatry. They no knowthing

Are you off now and headed toward recovery?

Did you recover? Please answer

I'm really sorry to hear this, I'm on olanzapine but before that I was on abilify. That's the worst kind poison I've ever take , complete rubbish It's so bad. I prayed god to take me while I was getting off it

Are you off and recovered?

@@pubzi8764 I’m still on them and I’m still suffering from the side effects but I’m working with my psychiatrist and my therapist to one day get me off of them. I can only hope that God will cure me

Get a psychiatrist that will lower the dose. Get it to the lowest dose and get something with low sedation and low weight gain risk. And don't eat fried food or high carbohydrate things like pasta or rice It get's better after a while. I dont' have emotional flatlining right now, I definitely feel interest now, and I don't fake interest for the sake of it. This was not the case on APs for awhile. Although I heard similar things being experienced by other peopel who simply had similar personalities to me, they were perpetually bored by the world and the information it had. My personality has changed now. Besides if you look at the science, these meds aren't all that bad. It is as bad as metormin. And metformin is a very safe drug. All of this is a game to me now, I definitely wonder sometimes whether I truly was ill, I definitely had much lighter symptoms, even though I was definitely not functioning well in life. I guess nobody cares in this world, not even my family or frieds.

@@pubzi8764doubt it

Mine went away at the tender age of 16, i hope to feel better, My motivation, my success, everything i hope to recover, i love learning New things.

I want to stop but the doctors threaten to take my driving license away...they tricked me..the psychiatrist said he will take me off the injection but then referred me to get a blood test from my family doctor who said I need to go on pills if I come off the injection or lose my liscense

@@tysonmikel9222 Sounds like a lawsuit in the making. It's called SLANDER & DEFAMATION OF (UR) CHARACTER.

@@billybandyk0720 i ended up never going back to my family doctor after she said that .. she wanted me to do blood test then see her for the results(our first appointment was over the phone) then visit her in person for a physical where I knew then she would try to stamp on my file that I need to take meds to drive and tell me I can't drive with meds so I just never went back to her.. thankfully she's retiring this year.. most ppl I spoke to said the psychiatrist has the final say and if he says I can stop the meds the family doctor shouldn't be trying to keep me on it.. glad I'm away from that stressful mess now

@@tysonmikel9222 Wow!!!! Glad 2 hear that u had the 4titude 2 recognize ur situation much sooner than I did. I only became psych med-free less than 6 yrs ago *since 1/1/2017) after being on 30+ different psych meds (starting w/Ritalin @ age 4 in 1971; I'm 55 now) ovr a 40+ yr period. Shortly after going psych med-free; I was BULLIED by a Special Olympics "coach" named Bob Garrison (who had an unjustified personal vendetta against me). When I stood up 2 that MFer & fought back against him, it eventually led 2 BOGUS LEGAL SANCTIONS AGAINST ME (including court-ordered mental health "treatment"---which is a euphemism 4 medication; it was phrased as "Comply w/all dr.-recommended psychiatric "treatment". Long story short; I initially complied w/all sanctions (XCPT THE "TREATMENT" PORTION as "protest" 4 being denied my testimony as 2 y I stood up 2 the BULLY DISGUISED AS A"Special Olympics "coach"). After invoking a "contempt of court" hearing, I eventually "got my way" (sort of). I went 2 counseling (via a "modified" court-order) w/o meds but my issues were treated as an unprovoked "anger management" issue by my therapist instead of what truly caused it (being BULLIED by some1 who H8D MY GUTS 4 NO REASON WHATSOEVER). As if I "brought it upon myself". My points that psychotherapy (w/o psych meds) is actually the BEST FUCKIN' TREATMENT 4 mental health conditions but only if the REAL ISSUES (i.e.: the TRIGGERS such as abuse [verbal, mental, emotional, sexual, financial, etc.], bullying, & harassment committed against some1 by other people but not solely limited 2 the a4mentioned) r properly acknowledged, addressed, &/or resolved. W/that said; psych meds r "chemical pacifiers" (designed 2 silence u when standing up 2 & defending urself against abusers, antagonists, bullies, harassers, instig8rs, & perpetr8rs that inflict their actions against u). More often than not; the person on the receiving end of abuse, bullying, & harassment committed against them gets punished w/psych meds 2 "control" their behavior whereas the antagonists/instig8rs/perpetr8rs (most often people in positions of authority; e.g.: law enforcement officers, court personnel including judges, attorneys/lawyers, mental health personnel including psychiatrists, parents, etc.) get away "scot-free". That's been my personal experience. While it does vary from each individual, there r LOTS OF PEOPLE whom can VOUCH 4 ME!!!!!.

Good luck!

@@MedicatingNormal Thanks!

​@@MedicatingNormal Luck only applies 2 gambling (lottery & casinos). When some1 wishes me "Good Luck" in this situation (but especially in a legal matter), it translates as "F--k U". I know that's not the intent here but "Good Luck" sounds "hollow".

That's all I'm saying.

I don't feel emotions either since i have been taking antipsychotic drugs.i'm stopping this month to heal back and get my life i used to have.

Exactly! Many people don’t have a choice. It’s either take the pill or live on the streets totally unaware of your circumstances

@zanderwhilton1235 i totaly agree, i Got paralized, and totaly weak from quetiapine but Just small dose 25mg but they do help with ptsd, and ocd...but i cant function, make me so weak in muscle .. but going off of them is even worse 😊

And there is no guarantee that you will go back to normal even if you stop them. Enjoy this fact.

@@jucaalmeida1111 true, the brain suffers maybe too much damage from the pills...

I feel exactly the same

Nonsense. Antipsychotic medication cripples lives so people cannot function and feel human. It destroys people from inside out.

Not true at all if you'd tried a suicide attempt you'd understand

Take your medication These pple don't have schizophrenic

Na bro, i was 3 months on it forced by a judge and i stopped.. so far i feel better but still nowhere near where i used to be. All they do is try to put fear on you that you will relapse into psychosis but that wasn't true in my case, i still pretend i take them and the psychiatrist has no clue

Cant you tell him you’re off?

How are you now?

I am sorry to hear that. I was on the same boat before, being through forced treatment at a psychiatric facility and being put on the ITO. I was left brain dead and had no joy in life. Just make sure to get off as soon as possible when the community treatment order ends. I am sure they won't keep you on it for long. You can also appeal to them and have people advocate for you. From my experience, CTO is used for severe cases where the symptoms are acute. Later on they would transfer you to the continuing care team. From there, it is your choice whether to take meds or not.

Hey Sim Sim, I am also on the community treatment order and on a injection every 3 months. It's a disgrace that they can put us on these orders without our consent. But you asked what you need to do so I'll tell you. You need to start water fasting or dry fasting. Very powerful for increasing d2 receptor density and sensitivity which anti-psychotics block. I'm also in Australia and like to go out camping and fast to get my brain working again. If your in South Australia and your a boy aged 18-30 we could go together and I'll show you how to fast safely.

@@haydnmckinley6366 They can force people taking antipsycotics in The Netherlands too. Im so thankfull im off of it after years! So not eating and drinking water helps? Im planning to do that combining with taking vitamins. Hope yall are ok..

I was on the same order. 10 years they forced me to take paliperidone. From 29 to 39 years old. The thing that was most frightening about my schitsofrenia was being stalked by mental health and forced to take injections. If I didn't comply they came back 10 minutes later with 2 police officers. The nurses scared the shit out of me. And paliperidone didn't help my schitsofrenia at all. It just made me gain 50kg and destroyed my libido permanently. I'd love to see a mental health nurse take a 10mg olanzapine before they go around telling people that it's going to improve there life.

​@@Jellostylefunny that we can't tag @simsim

I took17 shots bro… I am 5 months off. Still no improvement. My whole life has changed… I’m not able to hold conversations anymore and so I can’t seem to connect to anyone like family and friends. Low sex drive no motivation or interest of life. My entire personality has been taken away. My family doesn’t believe these drugs have such a tremendous effect on people. I’m going through it right now man…. But I do have hope for recovery that is the only thing keeping me going. How are your family and friends dealing with drug induced person that you are today?

@@KINGYESHUA282 Hi Bro, today I'm 6 months off this motherfucker drug, since 3 weeks I'm not always in my bed staring at the ceiling but since this 3 weeks I can get back to running, chatting with my friends on discord and play games with them. I am still aphatic and anhedonic but my friends think I have improved slightly, I felt some music but only 24 hours and my mother understands my problems but sometimes finds it hard to believe that drugs can do this and my father is an asshole

@@alljds2842 Well that is good that you are improving, I hope that I can hopefully feel some improvement next month. I hope you continue to heal and get better ❤️‍🩹…. This is hell for me because no one around me understands and also I can’t connect with anyone. I’ve been reduced to a child-like, non functional person. 🤦🏾

@@KINGYESHUA282same😔❤️

Same here 😢

😢 I'm so sorry!! Is there anything we can do to help? I was in a physically/emotionally abusive relationship for 8 years and I know how hard it is to get out!!!

It depends on what caused the hallucinations.

To whom were the hallucinations unacceptable? I understand, if the hallucinations were causing them to act in dangerous ways, that needs addressing. But "unacceptable" can mean all kinds of things. Some would say that the damage caused by antipsychotics is unacceptable.

Do your research and advocate for yourself!

Did you recover from injection?

Do you feel better now? I’ve only been taking Zyprexa for 2 months now and I literally just feel uneasy all the time, no thoughts or color in my thoughts when imagining, do things change when you get off?

@@adriann3561 Nope, I don't feel that much better, I was on for too long, It did some permanent damage. After around the 9 month period of taking Zyprexa I think it went past the point of recovery for me. And honestly, you shouldn't take this drug any longer. 2 months is not long, If you quit now you could recover fully. you will probably regret taking it longer. This drug changes everything about you and it takes away so much. don't make the same mistake I did, I still haven't recovered my emotions, I feel no joy, I cannot think, have 0 creativity, I don't have anything I want to do, I can't pass my college classes because I lost like 70 IQ points while on this drug. It slowly destroys your brain, antipsychotics were literally called chemical lobotomies when they were first made. Taking this drug is easily the biggest regret of my life. My advice for anyone taking this drug, If you value your personality, intelligence or creativity, don't take this drug. . Anyway, I don't know your situation, some people who are severely schizophrenic actually need this drug, but If you feel worse on this drug, you should quit. Hopefully everything works out for you

​@@adriann3561 would you care to share what dosage you took and for which condition and how are you feeling now ?

After a psychosis you also feel like this more or less. So after the cannabis psychosis hadnt you taken medication you would have felt flat but the medication also have this effect. It should go away within 5 years. I smoked weed and after the psychedelic high I always felt flat and disconnected for some time. That's why I stopped.

@@SSDDssed Thanks for the answer! Highly appreciated! I smoke several days a week, because it makes me feel more, even on the days off. I also plan to stop it for good, but it's hard to exercise without any positive response from the reward processing center. Running is most problematic. I just think that weed will not contribute in a positive way in terms of my healing process. I mean, it was maybe one of the main culprits wich lead to the psychosis.

​@@SSDDssedc'mon, it's obvious that it's these drugs that are causing emotional problems, not any supposed psychosis.

​@@jucaalmeida1111 Tell that to those who have emotional problems before taking any medication. You don't know until you experience it yourself. So stop downplaying.

@@SSDDssed if they had emotional blunting prior to the drugs then they know. There is nothing to complain about. But it's absolute monstrous to deny that these drugs destroy your emotions, which they do very effectively.

@@blairsterling6141hi i desperately need your opinion. I was diagnosed 5 months ago with cannibas induced phsycosis and was prescribed respredal a week ago and i don't want to take it because I'm afraid. I don't have hallucinations nor delusions, i just feel sometimes not focused and easily tired, and the past 2 weeks i had a strange feeling in my right foot similar to numbness and weakness in my limbs , so that's when the doctor prescribed the antipsychotic when i mention i had drug induced psychosis 4 months ago, he said that the Neurological symptoms are a result of phsycosis damage to nerves and that i must take respredal for 3 month's or less. Should i do it ?

@@blairsterling6141 thank you , most of the time i feel great but sometimes i just feel weird and tired around people, that's it , i want to go to an internist to tell him about my limb weakness and not mention the drug induced phsycosis to see if he can diagnose me correctly; because i really doubt that these 2 things are related.

I seriously have my doubts about your post. I think you're just a psychiatry shill. Antipsychotics primary function(not a side effect) is exactly to depress you, make you anhedonic and emotionally numb. That's how they achieve their supposed "stabilization" effects. The bigger the high, the higher the fall. So by dulling and making you numb and apathetic they stabilize you.

@leadavila9240 would you be kind enough to tell what dosage of an antipsychotic you have been taking and for how long. I agree with the most part you have shared. My doc has suggested it Antipsychotic will help with ocd if I add it to Prozac-- but am horrified to learn abt their side affects esp memory impairment n cognitive decline and how much damage some ppl claim these have caused.. So naturally it's v hard to trust the doctors as they aren't the ones who will be taking them and whatever affects occur have to be borne by the patient your opinion will b helpful and then I can discuss with my doctor. Thanks.
