 1  to get raped My son got tortured by this drug. He is now in heaven. He begged and begged for his life. They would not stop. I begged them too. God please send them to Hell. My son died after 6 shots. He said the room kept spinning, his gut hurt, burning sensation all over his body, his tongue swelled up, dry mouth, head felt like it was spilt open, shaking non stop, gained weight, couldn't move hands, couldn't breath, couldn't see, pain in both arms, heart going fast, sweating like crazy and alot more. How in the world can they sell this. The reason anybody would say this shot helps is because they are mental and should not even respond to this because there opinion is not right. M 20 6 months

 5  Schizoaffective/Schizophrenia NONE I have no side effects from Risperdal Consta. I was put on this when I was hospitalized and I haven't been hospitalized since. I really love this medication. The only problem with it is that it kind of wears off close to the next injection date, so I have to also take 700 mg of Seroquel daily. With the Seroquel, I never notice it wearing off, and I have never felt this good. I plan to never get off of my medications now. F 22 5 months

 1  I was diagnosed with 'schizophrenia I feel tired and down; I feel the head heavy; extreme drowsiness, I need to sleep more than 12 hours a day, sometimes I get to sleep around 14 hours,otherwise I feel tired, very sleepy and with the need to reset the sleep; sedation, a feeling of sedation; feeling of wanting to leave the skin itself; extremely dry mouth; want to puke but nothing come out; tremor of the hands and arms; muscle stiffness with contractures and facial spasms; arrhythmia; uncontrolled reflexes of the arms and legs; problems of motor control, motor retardation, the legs move in the opposite direction to the desired; in situations of fear or emotional stress as well as euphoria, more intense emotions,triggers a serie of physical reactions ranging from extreme muscle stiffness with contractures and facial spasms; breathing difficulties; chest pain; ringing in the ears; blurred vision; liver pain; pain in the testicles; palpitations (pulsar) in different parts of the body; swollen fingers, making it impossible to I'm living a nightmare, I can not wait to free myself from it to continue with my life, I'm in it for almost a year and I'm always considering suicide. I was hospitalized for about one month and a half (arrested we mean, and the only people who knows this, is whom already passed through the same). I started with the maximum dose, 50 mg and i stayed there for a few months, they lowered me to 37.5, where I stayed for a few months and i am now at the lowest dose that is 25 mg. At the time of receiving the injection i'm in an absolute terror because i know I'll feel bad again and I'm always terrified when the day of receiving it is approaching. Apparently there is a lot more people than the general people think, that is currently in the same situation as me, and know this is terrifying. It seems it is a widespread phenomenon, a witch hunt in the XXI century, 'diagnose' and drugging. Yes, I'm being forced drugging me, if i offer the least resistance, I was warned, I will be hospitalized again, against my will. I had never thought of suicide until i started with this 'treatment'. This is not treatment, is torture, and I think many of them who prescribe this drugs know that.This is all pure merchandising. M 22 1 years

 3   All of these meds will cause brain atrophy and the death of who you once were! Yay. Brain lobotomy in a injection.. Your drive? doesn't exist. Your creativity gone, your humor? gone. You're much slower, but Your mental health in Tact :D If needed TAKE the medication. RC helped calm me down and control symptoms when I needed it, it worked! However, I got off Injection after almost 3 years because it caused me TD in mouth, So I switched over to another medication (oral tabs) to calm me down. Hoping it works, as I'm going through the transition right now. *Weight gain *Feeling hot at times *Breathing problems *Hives *Read about eps RC potentially causes *Read about the mechanism of how this medication works in your brain 24 3 years

 1  psychosis I wish I never tried the shot. I thought it would be better than taking pills every day. I am so sick. It's been a 2 months after the shot and I can't do anything. It is a bad sickness that is scaring me. I pray it goes away but keeps getting worse. I can't stand it. I took a sick leave at work. I can't get out of bed or think. I can't stand the headache. My body feel funny and I don't want to die. There is nothing the doctor could do. How can this be. I am stupid for trying it. Don't take it. I think I am going to die. It is something that is unreal. Is this death coming. Does any body know? email me. Why me god, why me. F 24 1 days

 1  private reasons A near-complete depletion of typical thinking abilities; possibly lowered intelligence by >30% or more (there are no new ideas in my mind, but I used to have new ideas constantly). Extremely little physical energy. (Can't stay awake for more than 9 hours a day; can't exercise strenuously; can hardly move around to finish basic self-care tasks). Stopped enjoying music. (used to be obsessed with it). No longer can learn enough to go to work or to attend school. Cannot sustain even basic usefulness around the house (with house chores). Gained weight. Muscle stiffness. (Can't exercise properly). Constant physical restlessness. This injection is the limiting factor which ruins my ability to work or go to school or initiate worthwhile projects during my free-time. While not as bad as Invega Sustenna, I now have next to no new thoughts, think in extremely repetitive and short-form, fragmentary loops, and can't come up with anything productive to focus on while I'm getting medicated with Risperdal Consta. The injections hurt to receive. I miss being able to come up with multiple writing projects each week; now I have nothing to evidence to friends, family or medical caretakers about what I've been working on. Because I work on nothing. All I can do now is exist as a passive consumer of others' content. Creating anything original is no longer possible. This hellish thing keeps stopping me from being able to survive without help from my aging parents. I frequently think of the possibility of having to go homeless thanks to this drug; at least homelessness would let me get away from the antipsychotics which ruin my ability to be productive in any way. Whoever made this injection surely hadn't taken enough of it to discover that it could be very quickly life-ruining, just like Invega Sustenna could. I have been given possibly permanent brain-damage by these medical injection-givers. Forgiveness seems impossible. M 26 6 times

Patient History
 1  schizophrenia My sister is so sick and can't move from this medicine. It is like she is paralized. I showed the psychiatrist this and he said he knows of the side effects. He acted like he didn't even care. What a ****! I am trying everything I can to get her off of this poison. She is so sick I think she is dying. She was full of energy and now there is nothing. She is screaming and crying every day. She seemed fine to me mentally but they keep injecting her. I hope it don't kill her. Please say prayers for my sister. Pray they stop giving her the medicine. I think it is evil what they are doing to her. She can't move or walk. F 33 1 years

 2  P Schizophrenia Everything tbh. Injection always better than tablet. Tar dive dyskinesia, had to get botulinum injections around my eyes for plebraspasm, eyes closing. Fatigue! Sleeping all the hours. Still managed work part time. Photophobia, couldn’t look at a screen would get headaches and have to sit in a darkened room and console myself. Aches and pains, bad back, muscoskeletal issues felt much older than I was decrepit. Couldn’t drink on it would become volatile days later. Many psychological problems on it agitation and irritability. Weight gain My psychosis came about many years after smoking weed at uni. Which no doubt created a pharmacological imbalance. Risperidone caused me so much suffering it was the punishment I knew it would be and I would have to go through it. I could still function on it and in fact have just been taken off it. But the negatives for me were significant of which there seemed to be no way of eliciting this for the cpn or dr. Because once labelled with the diagnosis even if you make good ground on your health there is still far too much latency in being withdrawn. There as stigmatised as we are patients.

 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, conscience, 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 36 2 months

I got to many torturous pains to mention. I can't believe I am still living after everything I went through with this drug. It is poison I can't believe they still sell it. I didn't even have schizophrenia i had encephalitus. Let others know they might have this too. you need antibiotic not deadly, sudoscience meds. SCIENTOLOGY! STOP FORCED DRUGGING! M 42 6 months
