Completely correct on the lying in the psych unit. He described it well.
He right about the lying. I can never say how I truly feel for fear of going to hospital
Its so true
My advice for anyone in the psych ward, as hard as it is, fake it till you make it. Regain your freedom at all costs.
Scared af too after I was given an antipsychotic that I thought was an antidepressant, didn’t know it was an antipsychotic until after my injection and looking up the drug, I was so upset when I found out that I’d been injected with an antipsychotic and the side effects were unbearable, I was scared shitless for the month the medication was in my system and for the 2 months off the drug, it took 60 days after the medication to wake up and feel somewhat like myself... thank god the Akathisia is gone
People deserve better. All those drugs could kill a horse.
Refused to take it! Yes! This man is a hero, an inspiration.
My cousin was on an anti psychotics which made her put loads of weight, now off it she is back to her normal shape
Wow an app on his phone. It should become the standard until a psychiatrist has tried the drug themselves they should no be allowed to prescribe it!
that would be the end of them prescribing so haphazardly! Most people are thrown Zyprexa when they're going through adverse drug reactions to another neurotoxin! It's treating symptoms - not healing anyone!
I’d love to inject them all with 120mg of risperidone and see how they like it
@@JZGreengo omg did some one do that to you??
Ryan Murphy yup
@@JZGreengo I’m so sorry. That’s beyond horrible. I’m tapering off 2 mg because of horrible side effects (no energy, no libido, foggy thinking). I can’t imagine what such a high dose for you must’ve felt like. Hope you recovered fine
Definitely agree with the power imbalance especially with power tripping nurses after they finish dehumanizing you with no clothes and forcing pills down your throat
Yes, this is not even okay to do to animals. I was fighting to free animals, I never knew humans were still legally being done these atrocities to.
It's 2023 almost 2024 and this evil still continues
@@Chocolate_Chippie It will never stop because money is involved. Governments support this.
I wish I knew that the safe tapering rate is 5-10% per month for any psychiatric drug and the process will take at least a year.
My 17 year old nephew got diagnosed with "drug induced psychosis" for taking marijuana with Xanax. The Doctors recommended that we put him Respirdol to treat the "drug induced" psychosis. The the treatment was not to let him detox and let the drugs get out of his system. The cure for these greed bastards was to pump him up with more drugs!
The docs are insane
They forced this to my son and he was in a bad way
So what treatment did they finally find for your son ,?if you don’t mind me asking
@@lydiacervantez4782 They are giving me a choice of Haloperidol, Zuclopenthixol, Flupentixol, Olanzapine All these drugs are just to make People with Autism worse there was à big tribunal and of course they believe the Dr more than thé parent they do not know our kids like we do now he is talking more they use that because he has learnt bad words I am just glad he is starting to talk more and more I réel like I am taking on the mafia with these people one of the drugs they want to give my son was banned
Hi Pica Chica ASMR To instead of them trying to help they make patients worse it's like to me their killing my son He is locked in a hospital for being Autistic and having Cerbral Palsy just drug and sedate him they even if there is no Psychosis their medication make them violent I just wish something can be done to fight against all these crazy Drs
The doctors don't give a damn!
Nor do they have a clue about how these neurotoxins work - the only info they have is what the person selling them the drug is telling them, and they would rather believe bigpHARMa than what the patient on the drugs is telling them! #gaslighting
Agree
*butchers
They just don't know how to get people OFF these medications. It's like a person going to a pet store and buying a cute little baby alligator. They don't know what to do when the alligator can no longer fit into the family bathtub. The alligator gets released into a nearby lake where it eats an unsuspecting victim. They just hope no one catches on that they have no idea what they are doing with these brain altering medications.
@@SydneyDiva no, of course they dont. They can't. Psychiatry literally means : healing the soul. Funny anyone would think that would ever be possible through drugging
That happened to me too. The withdrawal of Prozac was cold turkey after two years. Zyprexa was given and I gained 30 pounds in 30 days, mouth sores...lots of things. Got off it. Just stopped risperidone after a year and they just tried to put me on seroquel and I said no. I’ve been having depression and anxiety but I’m done with antipsychotics. If you need anyone else for your channel please let me know. I was in and out of mental hospitals for anxiety and given the gambit of meds. I am still on some and slowly my goal is to stop them all and somehow find a way to get healthy naturally.

Hi Earthangel depression is treatable....like during sczophernia episode medication need to take.... it depression is treatable through natural ways....
Earthangel.. can you tell about your illness please?
@@aaymathebest4705 Who says "treatment" must b medication? As some1 diagnosed w/Bipolar myself (I prefer 2 say "mental (health) condition" instead of the shameful & stigmatizing term "mental illness"), acknowledging & addressing the triggers such as abuse (verbal, mental, emotional, &/or physical), bullying, conflict, disrespect, harassment, mistreament, mockery, &/or ridicule committed against me by other people.is done best via psychotherapy w/o psych meds (a.k.a.: "Drug Therapy"). BTW, psychotherapy's TREATMENT also. In a likewise manner, I consider myself as "Mentally Disturbed" instead of the shameful & stigmatizing term "Mentally Ill".
after I woke up in bed with my legs running uncontrollably, I tapered off 50 mg Seroquel in 30 days. Evil, Evil drug
I was on 900 mg and I had the worst anxiety and panic attacks and leg spasms too
Plus the weight gain
Geodon did that to me, my legs wouldn't stop and my body felt like it was convulsing..😲😲😲seroquel just made me so tired that i felt like i was still asleep even when i was awake.. Like i could have walked into traffic or jumped off a building and not care... Messed up stuff!!!!
How do you feel today? I took Seroquel for about 2 months. Afterwards I got Paxil. In sum I took meds for 5 months. I am 2 months off (Seroquel 5 months off) and I still feel stupid (extremely lowered thinking abilities). I can't feel anything.
Yes, nobody has a responsibility for the effects of those drugs. They live a lie and impose it on others.
Psychiatrists are dangerous criminals.
I’m truly worried about what they gave me i don’t feel like myself anymore
God bless that man 🙏🙏🙏 he made the right choice, such a smart guy!!!👏👏👏👏 I wish id made that choice to..but i was underage so i didn't have one unfortunately...😔😔😔 I second that guy's analogy...going on seroquel IS like going to war...iv got the battle scars to prove it!!!! I thank God every day that i survived💜💛💜💛💜💛💜
How do you feel now that you are off medication?
God please help, i was admited just one month ago, they gave me a dystonic reaction due to some meds, and i feel number, with less motivation, foggy, though not as anxious, they took a part of myself, im lobotomized, these meds should not be taken by anyone!
When you said she closed the bag… and you choked a little bit. I feel that.
So very insightful and articulate...thank you!
I was on Seroquel and Saphris simultaneously during a medication crisis in high school. I was trying to come off the meds because it felt like they were killing me. I was told I would kicked out of my house if I didn’t go back on them, so I went back on Seroquel after cold turkying, but continued to get worse. And then I was prescribed Saphris. They didn’t want me off Seroquel till the Saphris took affect. I remember getting this horrible feeling in my stomach and terrible pain in my entire body-I felt like I was about to die.
Do you know the funny part? Before this I willingly committed myself to the psych ward and asked and them to responsibly withdraw me and do a psychiatric re-eval after withdrawal, because something didn’t feel right about the diagnosis I had and the response I was having to the medication’s. I had no idea that they didn’t know how to actually taper people. I got fired as a patient because they didn’t want to withdraw me and I wasn’t gonna listen to them. How does a feild who prescribes these medications not understand and recognize their toxicity and dangers, much less have facilities set up to help with short and long-term tapers?
Psychiatrists are butchers.
Very well said
Psychaitrists are the modern nazis
Thanks for sharing all this. This interview will save lives for sure.
I admire your smile and peace while talking about this story. I wish you peace and happiness. Regards
Interesting because i met a woman who went temporarily crazy on it according to her own words on that drug. She stopped and resumed normality.
I heard Haldol turns you into a living corpse. All you can do is lay there and no matter how hard you try to fight it you’re just stuck in a glass room behind your own eyes yelling for help while your lifeless body just sits there..I’m not sure if it was haldol or another drug. It’s to calm a person down, it sounds like a nightmare
Quetiapine took 12 years of my life,3 years ive been off it and others and the damage cognatively is shocking.Yet drs would just dismiss and point blanc refuse to accept they are killing their paitents..Drs frighten me know.
How are you doing now?
CPTSD is misdiagnosed as bipolar.
You remind me of David Green. He gave me a nice guitar his father gave him.
God how can this not be a lesson that all medical people should be trained in. The last new crazy drug I was given by a shrink, and I mean shrink was Zyprexa.He said we will give you a low dose and this should help you sleep. sleep for gods sake! After one month on that shit I did return to that shrink for the last time.I said I'll tell you what how about you taking a low dose for a month and you tell me how you feel! That was/has been the start of trying to get off all the shit I'd been taking for years, 24 I think, all for being really upset that my dog died.
How do you feel now that you are off medication?
At the age of 12 I was perscribed haldol in 1976 to help treat syndenhams chorea....
It didn't help.
Instead it change how I think and behaved since.
In less than two years I was in a psychiatric ward being treated for severe depression, with elevil and syniquil..and have battled with depression for most of my adulthood.
Miracle drugs?
Wtf?
Dude I am a victim of big pharma too!
Can we get in touch! I am preparing interviews!
But then how a person can get better without a drug?
@@aaymathebest4705 The drugs dont make you better, they just alleviate the symptoms for the time being, while poisoning your system!
Hi You know what they are doing to my son who has Autism is so sad I feel helpless taking on the mafia
@@evelyng3889 I have autism too (aspergers) and it was caused by vaccines when I was A kid, because they are full of heavy metals!

Thanks
Damn im so srry you went thru tht..... And yes unforantly they will only let u out if u take theirs drugs. Act better. Nd say u feel better
They do what they're told; not what's right, or conducive to wellness. They also pass cognitive ethical responsibility back and forth between police, court, the "concerned" community, the nurse, the doctor, the security, the maintenance man, and the judge, or anyone else they can use to dismiss having actual induvidual humane ethics; as opposed to having "mob mentality".
This is wrong, and needs to be stopped. The system is systematic abuse, and not kind.
Its a us and them mentality

I'm so sorry I was also injected 4 times as well but I can say it gets better after some years please keep your head up and get away from all of those idiotic doctors who don't listen to there patients side effects.
How do you feel now that you are off medication?
@@the_craft_or_the_shaft3147 how many years to recover from the injections? Did you recover fully?
@@Cd-yd7bn the newer injections are better because of my case. Secondly I actually enjoy the new brand of risperidone.
Lack of true informed consent, because you have to take it…by force..talk obout coercion…which is a clear violation of human dignity and human rights at the level of subjugation that is absolutely unacceptable and unnecessary in nearly every single story

The question for many of us is how can we say NO to often enforced treatments even after you are out of the section. Sometimed this abuse lasts a lifetime and you never know how to defend yourself. In my case I am currently trying to secretly get off the meds without them k owing. Having my job and my life I will state thst I dont need their treatment anymore. This business goes down to censorshio and lies and good luck to everybody. Be smart.
I have for a couple of years a battle with them. But this time they want to incapacitate me to make sure I take them forever. I am very sad about this. Only a miracle, a collective revolution can save me from this poisons and save the planet from this corrupt opressors.

@Invicta they say that I act strange because of my spiritual lifestyle, for example eating vegan they say it is a problem, meditation an obsession, lucid dreaming a delirium and it keeps going. For each good thing you show they present a problem. So pretty evil I would say. I have been 5 months on Clozapine. Hell.

Most people don’t know what neuroleptics are…eh hm hmm excuse me, antipsychotics what was I thinking 😅. Neuroleptics are rooted in phenothiazines, which were originally insecticides because they attack the nervous system. When they say treat or manage psychosis, they mean by brain damage, it’s chemical lobotomy. Rather than spend money on therapeutic centers, properly trained caregivers, and educating the public, they’d rather sedate us with chemical brain damage plus the bonus of making money from insurance claims and incentives from big pharma to get the doctors to keep writing prescriptions. A medical industry under the influence of a capitalist system is completely unethical and fraudulent. It’s like big tobacco, they control all their data, and those within the industry that have tried to speak out about them boldly lying about their published data are always attacked and dismissed. It’s a total genocide being done to people with mental disabilities, look at the history of eugenics in this country. Read mad in America by medical journalist Robert Whitaker.

U do u🤷🤷 but im going to warn u rt now FROM EXPERIENCE it only "works well" for so long before it doesn't anymore and then the pill and doc hopping begins cuz it always does to some degree...no drug works forever and no drug will b able to fix what is really wrong...im sorry....😔😔 in the end only u can (and U CAN idgaf what anyone says).

You speak so eloquently
I’ve had nothing but good come from my meds that were prescribed to me. The voices are gone no more self-hate haven’t thought about ending my life in months. Don’t be scared of meds just talk to your doctor and try different ones until you get the right mix
it's very much an individual thing - for some people, like my son, they actually caused more problems than he started with.
"Don’t be scared of meds just talk to your doctor and try different ones until you get the right mix" I did that for 21 years too and put on 30 different drugs. There was never a right drug, right mix or right cocktail that solved anything. Only neurotoxins that damaged my brain and destroyed any chance of living a normal life. In the meantime, I lost all that time being told I just needed to "wait for the right mix"

Nope. The drug he is talking about is very widely used. All medicin can give side-effects. Psychiatric drugs are known for their many side-effects, but that doesn't mean you should be scared of it. Not all patients experience side-effects. The information is no secret. The doctor knows about it.
