the worst medication id have to say were the ones given by injection cause that cause you to get like really loaded. My dad was mad in the er cause i was so out of it and the psychiatrist kept yelling at me to answer his question. I could barely walk and this had happened another time with abilify i was way out of it. Also overdosing on lithium was pretty bad i thought id never stop throwing up. But the worse and one medication i can not have is haldol it causes something in me called tartika dyskenisa which is common with anti psychotic. The first time i was being forcefully injected with hadol a lot at my second mental hospital because i refused to take meds until one day or ill say night my arm developed a mind of its own and i couldn't control my arm movements luckily my aunt came and realized something was wrong cause im a shy person i thought it was just me. Anyway they gave me another shot of coginten i went on twitching in the quiet room for a bit and after a long time my muscles relaxed. the second time they gave me haldol in the er that happened recently this time i had been left in restraints and my nurse clocked and left me there the guard was being an ass and said i had to wait for the nurse and basically it was my own fault for kicking the door but my muscles were so tense my toes kept curling painfully inward and my back hurt so bad a new nurse let me out of restraints and my mom came the nurse gave me a benadryl first that didn't work so then my mom suggested a coginten they tried that next that didn't work. i was in a lot of pain. finally the nurse said shed ask the doctor what else they could give me she came back with a shot of ativan a large dose and i fell asleep and when i woke up i felt so much better but the nurse had waited so long the two medicines that should have worked didn't and i begged for help and no one listened if my mom hadn't come i probably wouldn't have got any help that's why all in i hate a lot of psych meds cause of all these terrible side effects and the way there used in particular anti psychotics are often used for the benefit of everyone else but the person
(((((((Yogi3))))))) My friend/neighbour, gave me Haldol once, told me it was Valium. Ended up in ER. Had the same symptoms, it was hell. was given a shot to counter Haldol side effects. felt very ill.

I've never had to be injected with any medicine, only taken things orally. My worst medications were Zoloft (I overdosed within 2-4 weeks of being on it, felt so suicidal, and I had never done anything like that before) and Cymbalta (withdrawl effects were terrible).
Just remembered Doc put me on Prozac, then I couldn't stop talking. He asked to to shut up, I couldn't Finally I said, "I am sorry, I am really really stupid". He said "I agree" With that I stood up , walked out of the room slamming the door behind me. I then thought OH No! I'm going to be locked up for that. All was well, Didn't get locked up. Just found out today, I shouldn't even be ON anti depressants, They make me worse. I have BP 1.
Anti depressants make me manic.
After 20 plus years, I just found out. the truth, from an esteemed member here.
