My last drinking episode resulted in my first stay at an abusive hospital. I was awake for days in "mania" again I guess. Energy way up, no sleeping then anxiety on a scale of 1-10 I was at 15 when reality became nothing but a memory.
I went to the hospital for alcohol detox knowing those meds would allow me a sleep cycle and these manic crazy symptoms would go away.
I was not willing to be a victom of psyhciatry again, having spent to many years a slave to docs and pharmacy and side effects with no result.
This abusive place - locked doors, naked check + squat and caugh on intake.... wanted me to take drugs again 800mg seraquel ! trileptal ! haldol !
I had to put up a real fight, and couldent leave until long after they saw I was right. The symptoms went away with a few sleep cycles like I told them.
I now Know the truth about psychiatry:
Psychiatric disorders are not medical diseases. There are no lab tests,MRIs, brain scans, X-rays or chemical imbalance tests that can verify any mental disorder is a physical condition. This is not to say that people do not get depressed, or that people can’t experience emotional or mental duress, but psychiatry has repackaged these emotions and behaviors as “disease” in order to sell drugs. This is a brilliant marketing campaign, but it is not science.
Hey docs and hospitals Don't treat us like criminals !
Take the time to know your rights about coerced medication google up psychiatric living will....
Im crazy as a fox, but med free and heathy as a horse.
been to an abusive hospital ? tell your story

Your story has come at a funny time for me as I haven't had my seroquel for a few days. I took an over dose of zopiclones and diazepam so had to go to hospital and kept under observation for 24 hours...anyway, I only got home yesterday and felt great. I feel great today, I was able to wake up without that 'groggy' feeling and I kind of get what you are saying. I am fully aware that I am in a mild hypomanic state now, however, I am closely observing my behaviour and somewhat keeping it under control.
HOWEVER, although you have decided to go this way and although I am kind of getting what you are saying, there are others here that are sensitive to suggestion and very vulnarable. So...IMO, what you are saying is not healthy as alot of ppl here are going through a hard time and what you are saying, again, IMO is quite controversial. You have every right to your opinion, but I get the feeling you are somewhat saying, 'hey guys, you dont need meds or hospitals'. Although there are no 'tests' there is enough data and research to validate medication, hospitals, therapy etc.
But of course you have EVERY right to state your opinions etc and thank you for doing so....but just be aware, alot of us here are sensitive to suggestion. On the other hand, alot of ppl here also have their own minds! I just dont want any of my friends here to feel confused and question their treatment.
