| 1 | forced: substance-induced psychosis | Complete soul and mind destroyer. My brain feels like an empty shell. Almost everything that was 'me' has been erased - thoughts, memories etc. I'm no longer a human. This drug has taken away everything that made me human. No longer have a soul and my mind is so weak now that it functions at the level of a chimpanzee. Can't understand anything I read or hear any more. The whole world has disappeared. Don't recognize family any more. Am completely disconnected from everything. Friends no longer exist in my awareness. Each moment is lived in intense shock. There's no real memory left to speak of or whatever is left is but a faint whisper and without any soul attached to it. Pure blank. I have lost almost all my God given intelligence. I have even been eternally damned the drug has destroyed that much of my brain/mind. Much of what I have learned in life has been erased. It's like this drug just shredded up my brain tissue to nothing. God has left my awareness. There is no more God or 'me | Started the injections in March 2015 and ended May 2015 yet it only got worse after they were stopped. Month by month my brain/mind kept deteriorating, becoming more void like; empty of anything human like; emotion, creativity, intelligence. And it keeps getting worse and the fear grows deeper and deeper. WHAT HAS THIS DRUG DONE TO ME? I am no more. End of life, end of soul eternally. I can't believe I have to be like this forever more even beyond the death of my body. What an horrendous curse. Never in my wildest imaginings could I have anticipated such incredible loss of 'me', everything that I am. No memory of yesterday, just stuck in this moment to moment loveless, mindless void. I wonder is there any chance whatsoever of anything being healed or brought back to life! Yet almost 8 months after having stopped the injections my mind keeps slipping away more and more. It's like the poison just keeps seeping deeper and deeper into my brain. I'll be more than a vegetable in no time by the looks of it. Just what exactly do they put into these injections? Anyone have anything to tell me that could give me some hope? | M | 37 | 2 months 37.5 2X M | 2/14/2017 Patient History | 2 | Yes | Causes weight gain dontneedthatshit | M | 42 | 1 days | 2/5/2017 | 5 | Aspergers, irritability. anger | Weight gain of 10 lbs, which i needed, mild sexual side effects | Originally took 3mg, but lowered to .75mg and feel thats the right dosage. I only get occasional irritability now, with no anger anymore, so it is effective.

I was so psychotic my family didn't want me around. Now I have a real life. I have my own apartment, manage my own money . Have some money in the bank. No psychosis for 5 years. A wonderful drug. I am administered the monthly shot and go about living. | M | 66 | 5 years 37.5 | 1/3/2017 | 1 | Loss of reality | I learned for an exam. After taking risperdal my knowledge is going away. I cant remember anything. I have memory loss. Problems to concentrate. My hand writing is going bad. I was passionate and had emotions and I was ambitious. Now my feelings are gone. The loss of memory and feelings still goes on after stop taking the medication. Please if anyone knows if theres a possibility to recover or has now has recovered from any of these symptoms or has any advise on what I should do please contact me. | Risperdal has destroyed my life. I would like to claim the psychiatrist. | M | 26 | 30 days 2X day | 12/18/2016 | 1 | Bipolar Disorder | I had taken this medication before and only lasted a month because it made me so sleepy and lethargic that I barely could take care of my daughter. That was the only symptom I felt at the time. I was recently prescribed the medication and I decided to give it another shot but with all of the bad reviews I've been reading I'm scared as hell. There is no way I'm taking it. | F | 40 | 1 days 1 mg | 12/5/2016 | 1 | """Psychosis""" | DONT YOU DARE EVER TAKE A PSYCHOTIC ALL PSYCHIATRISTS ARE LOONEY AND ONLY WANT YOUR MONEY THEY GIVE 0 SHITS ABOUT YOUR WELLBEING AND YOU WILL BE A SHELL OF A PERSON AFTER TAKING ANY PSYCHOTICS OR PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS | in 2013 - 2014 I was on small doses of zyprexa for a short amount of time, Zoloft, and Xanax. Those I would take as needed and it didn't fuck me up too bad. Then in 2015 they started pulling out the antipsychotics invega, cogentin, risperdone. I got my invega shot and then switched to seroquel so I wouldn't have to get monthly shots, I gained 40 pounds in 6 months and lost any happiness I had ever had. I no longer find joy in things that used to make me happy. Then in 2016 they put me on abilify and ambien, I was raped in my sleep while passed out on ambien (by a "health care professional" at the rehab center I was staying at in a room alone (I was 21 he was about 65 BLECK) I discontinued as soon as they let me out (they force you to take these to get out of the hospital and I only continued seroquel for 6 months because the stupid bitch promised me disability if I continued my meds.... Then the stupid bitch up and left town and never filled out my disability claim so I am still unemployed and poor) then they made me follow up with another doctor that was completely terrible and she kept telling me all this pointless shit I didn't fucking care about and she put me on this worthless Ned called hydroxyline. Now I have about 300mg of Zoloft, 20mg of risperdone, and 850mg of hydroxyline left over and I'm wondering if I swallow them all will I die instantaneously? | F | 1 months 2 MG | 10/20/2016 | 1 | psychotic episode | loss of inner voice, loss of emotions, erectile dysfunction, reading difficulties, blurred vision. | I will be for these drug aproximately three years. I hate what it does to me and i am not at all sure if i will get my normal self back. | M | 21 | 6 months 50mg (inj) 2X M | 9/21/2016 | 1 | Psychosis | Occulargyric crisis and awful restlessness | This drug is evil. Aside from difficulty driving when I'd get the eyeballs turning up I feel this awful restlessness and I can barely do housework or anything because I absolutely hate doing a lot of things. It is so goddammed awful and I am forced into having it. | F | 38 | 8 years 37.5 | 9/13/2016 | 1 | "Augment antidepressant" | Severe weight gain (40lbs in 8 months), severe fatigue, nightmares every night, extreme hunger and inability to tell when I needed food vs it was the meds (normally I don't eat much), cravings for sugar and carbs. No sex drive. Severe anhedonia at doses above .25mg. I had no creativity, desire, interest, everything was pointless. | I think the original prescriber just wanted to tranquilize me while I adjusted to the anti-depressant, I was going through some stressful and distressing things at the time due to external factors. But the new doctor assumed it was prescribed it for different reasons so upped the dose. I became pretty much non-functioning. Currently off the meds and going through the adjustment, my creativity is back, but still very tired while my body adjusts. | F | 32 | 8 months .25 - 1mg 1X day | 8/25/2016 | 1 | I am psychosis, bipolar, severe depression | When I was taking the pills I lost my emotions, hormornal feeling (don't get horny no more), memory loss on top of my original memory loss, weight gain, suicidal thoughts, lost my period, got bored easily, extra friendly. | The only reason I took it was because I needed my brain cells to be prepared because I had no thought process, natural thought, forgot about my past, short term and long term memory loss | F | 28 | 3 years 2 mg | 8/10/2016 | 1 | Depression, ADHD | Extreme weight gain, memory problems, lack of judgement | This medication essentially created a 3 year hole in my life. It turned me into a zombie. I didn't properly take care of myself and had no ambition to do anything. I was very angry all the time and still cannot believe the way I treated the people around me. I stopped it abruptly and now have my emotion, feelings and memory back. My memory is great for everything before the drug and for the 2 years since but for 2012 and 2013 especially, I really have virtually no memories. It's like I didn't even live it. I really wish I knew was I was in for sooner and ironically, was so zoned out because of it that I didn't have the ability to see what was happening and stop it. Luckily, the university expunged those years from my record, but it's still time and money I'll never get back not to mention my 6 year relationship. | M | 29 | 3 years 1 mg 1X day | 8/6/2016 | 1 | bipolar depression | I felt disconnected, I felt confused, my body felt like it wanted to crawl out of its skin,I got headache. I am now withdrawing and the symptoms are not going away, I am worried that it has caused more damage to my brain. | I am upset bc I voiced my concerns to my doctor and they ignored my worries. | F | 34 | 1 months 1mg and a | 7/25/2016 | 2 | Bipolar | Erection problems.. Tiredness. Loss of appetite, weight gain mainly of stomach.. Depression. Shaking hands.. Low cognitive skills.. Laziness.. No mental or physical energy. | Try to avoid where possible rather forced upon or taken on own orrcord.. | M | 30 | 4 months 25 | 7/20/2016 | 1 | Bipolar I | I was on a much higher dose at first. That was pure hell. No emotions, severe akathisia (restlessness), not able to carry on a conversation. Now that I am on a lower I used to be an enthusiastic, happy, joyful person full of energy, fun, silly, a goofy, fun side to me. I used to have people drawn to me because of my fun side. I used to have somewhat of a euphoric high on life. THIS IS ALL GONE. I am on a civil commitment due to some hospitalizations when I was manic and had psychosis so I am forced to take this medication. I feel unhappy all the time. I only now have the depressed and suicidal side of me left without the happy ups I used to have. | I can't wait to get off this medication! Has anyone else experienced having a zest for life, passion, happiness, an overall joy that is gone now? I also have nothing interesting to say anymore. Has anyone experienced that? If so, did you come off the medication? Did the happiness, joy, enthusiasium for life come back and are you interesting again? This guy tried to date me after I got diagnosed and was put on this drug. He said I need some spice in my life and a spark. I use this example because this is what has happened to me. I am no longer interesting, no spark or spice. No more euphoric joy. I used to be, at times, high on life. Has anyone experienced this? Did it come back after coming off Risperdal? This drug is not good. I don't like it. | F | 34 | 6 months 25 2X M | 6/23/2016 | 1 | F u risperdal | 9 days | 6/3/2016 | 1 | DSM-IV-TR misdiagnosis | Within two weeks I experienced a first ever terrifying "psychosis," likely because it was given to "cure" ADRs of an antidepressant, and combining those drug classes is known to create "psychosis" via anticholinergic toxidrome poisoning. Also, slept way too much, weight gain, memory problems, and it made me feel like my head had been bashed in. | Forced treatment with it is"torture," according to the UN. | F | 36 | 2 months .5 mg | 5/30/2016 | 5 | Bipolar | Weight gain, craving of sugar and carbs. Sleepy. | This med gave me my life back. I started out on .25mg about 15 years ago and I helped me sleep well. It helps my mood far more than my prozac 20mg. Keeps me stable. I have tried most of the usual bipolar meds but always came back to this one. | F | 50 | 15 years 6mg 1X day | 5/8/2016 |
