its not illegal in usa if you have a criminal record or goto mental health court. you know? but i mean in my case once the injection was in me it was in. each time i asked for it to be lowered or changed i got a higher dose of injections. they said my defiance was part of psychotic symptoms. so they kept chemically restraining me. i had no other choice than them or so i thought because i was on medicare and most places dont take that. but i was so lucky to find another doctor in the area that too medicare. i got REALLY lucky. she is the only one in this area that accepts it.
