Give Compensation For And Ban the Forced Use Of Outdated Major Tranquilizer Antipsychotics


Give Compensation For And Ban the Forced Use Of Outdated Major Tranquilizer Antipsychotics
The Issue
As you know the intercession/reference which is the request of a suppressed person doesn't get accepted. When they try to speak they don't get listened to. These people therefore won't be looking for you, you would need to find them. If you support this viewpoint please read my petition which is the following : I am a living testament to the devastating effects of outdated major tranquilizer antipsychotics. Against my will, I was administered Depixol depot, an old major tranquilizer antipsychotic that is rarely used today. As a result, I now suffer from a speech disorder, difficulty thinking , sexual dysfunction (in the form of clitoral atrophy so no physical pleasure whatsoever) and an overall lack of enjoyment in life. These older medications have a higher risk of increasing prolactin levels which can cause brain tumour and no periods and breast enlargement in both males and females (gynecomastia). I personally had more than twice the normal levels of prolactin almost immediately after the use of depixol depot and this stopped my periods which led to me developing a thickened endometrium. If this condition worsens I am prone to developing cancer my gynaecologist told me. I haven't had any periods coming up to 4 years since 2021 after the use of this medication and I am 27. I have also lost my independence in doing everyday chores and rely heavily on the input of care workers. Prior to this I could run a whole flat on my own. This is due to the anhedonia and concentration problems that these drugs cause. In 2021 I was a size 16 and have put on weight so much that I've been a size 24 for the last nearly 3 years. I have never been overweight before this for my whole life. Being overweight can cause a variety of health problems such as high blood pressure,diabetes , cholesterol etc. Note the picture of me is from 2019 and I am too embarrassed to show a picture of myself from present as I have put on too much weight. I have also developed hyperpigmentation which is a side effect of these medications.
As you can see these side effects cause long term health problems leading to people applying to for benefits such as PIP and staying on them for a longer period of time. This negatively impacts our economy. This also impacts these individuals by making them idle.
Antipsychotics are incapacitating agents. Their use should be carefully considered and monitored. However, resorting to older major tranquilizers is not justifiable under any circumstances. These drugs have been largely phased out due to their severe side effects and the availability of newer medications with fewer risks.
This is about giving people their autonomy back and protecting people's autonomy is far more important than imprisoning people in their own body.
There is something called the sanctity of the mammalian human body. Therefore the victims of these medications need to be compensated for.
According to research published in The British Journal of Psychiatry (2014), long-term use of such drugs can lead to serious physical health problems including tardive dyskinesia - involuntary movements that are often irreversible even after discontinuing medication - as well as cognitive impairments.
"State of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities" is the definition of good mental health by WHO (The World Health Organization). How are such incapacitating agents meant to help achieve this goal?
The World Health Organization (WHO) also advocates for patient consent and respect for human rights in mental health treatment – principles that were blatantly violated in my case.
Did you know that these drugs are incapacitating agents as you can't drive or operate machinery if you use them.
To put it simply these medications violates the rights for freedom from torture or cruel, inhuman, degrading treatment.
I feel very undignified.
This petition seeks not only justice for myself but also protection for others who may be subjected to similar treatments against their will. We demand strict regulations prohibiting the forced use of outdated major tranquilizer antipsychotics and ensuring informed consent before any psychotropic medication is administered. We also demand compensation for those who have fell victim to these outdated major tranquilizer antipsychotics.
Please sign this petition if you believe in upholding patient rights and promoting safe mental health practices.
