Title: Clopixol: when THEY force (more) neuroleptics via DEPOT INJECTION on you
Post by: Chip on May 28, 2019, 03:38:21 PM
so a new cool buddy of mine (who you do NOT want to mess with as 30+ of Martial Arts training (se he never gets abused again, get my drift?) is placed under a COMMUNITY TREATMENT ORDER (Aus/NSW/Suburb) despite being no risk to anybody, big fucken time ... ON TOP HIS existing neuroleptics!

he is a "head" and has a tug of relationship with persistent hard drug usage (sex abuse victim, you get that, common as grass in those parts).

he refuses. what's the drug ? an anti-suicidal agent that can even trigger suicide realisation.

here's the reasons why he has right to not having meds IMPOSED on him via a monthy 500+ mg DEPOT subcut INJECTION. Heaven help him if they strike a capillary, ya dig ?

I have carefully observed my friend as we shared some Mental Health real estate for 4 weeks ~ he is not only super cool and lovely etc. but he cares - sober or elegantly wasted.

He is no threat to anybody, be it the community nor himself.

I say it is a human right not to have this unwillingly forced upon oneself within the context of his situation.
