I am on antipsychotic but I am not vaping either , was on risperidone 4mg then to lurasidone -rexulti -abilify

all my ap has massive weight gain , about 55kg for abilify and 50 kg for lurasidone, 60kg for resulting and more 80+kg for risperidone…

The only thing that helped is a healthier lifestyle, mounjaro and my supplements, no amount of medicine really change my qol

Hey man, my mother has custody of me like she’s my guardian, my legal guardian. Even she can’t put me in the hospital without my consent. You have to be a harm to yourself or others.

@FreeLunch in Michigan you can be considered to have psychosis only and that can force you to be inpatient against your will. It’s not the same in all the US. I’ve been forcibly hospitalized for psychosis when I did not pose a threat to myself or others. All I said was a comment that Satan was affecting my life in a bad way. That got me forced in. I kid you not.

oh and forget privacy. A woman who was my friend and visited me while inpatient, told them she was my partner. They made arrangements for me to be released into her care without my consent to either speak to her about my condition or about whether or not I wanted to be forced to stay with her.
