I regretfully tried a stimulant drug last year and after 4 days of no sleep my mind went into psychosis. I had no previous history of mental health issues as a 37 year old female. I was put on clopixol at the psych ward and immediately felt severe akathisia to the point I was screaming and crying and pacing for 12+ hours then the suicidal ideation crept in but the doctors thought I was delusional and decided to enforce zuclopenthixol injection because I said I didn't want the antipsychotics in my body because of the severe side effects they took that as a threat of non compliance.

6 months of akathisia hell wishing to die every second of every minute of the day and I was finally listened to by the MH tribunal and they seized my forced medication on the CTO.

From what I've researched zuclopenthixol is the last line of medication for schizophrenic patients after they are resistant to all others. How did they give me the same drug? And why did every person doctor, nurse, social worker ignore my pleas to change medication due to side effects.

I am traumatised and don't know if I will ever live without this fear, doom and constant pacing. I thought ending the medication would definitely fix it but I think this only the beginning.

In September last year I smoked drugs for the first time and stayed awake for 4 days I went into psychosis I was taken to the hospital by paramedics after my mum found me hallucinating and shouting random words like they made sense. Once I was in the hospital they started me on clopixol I reacted to it straight away and starting pacing and having suicidal thoughts I told the nurses that I didn't feel normal but they ignored me that's when akathisia started. After two weeks on the medication and wanting to just die the doctor decided I would be non compliant with the oral meds and told the mental health tribunal I was at high risk of relapsing(never had a drug use history) and petitioned for the zuclopenthixol injection. The tribunal approved and I wasn't in any state to object I was too busy pacing and crying (help me please I want to die) so they obviously just thought I was extremely psychotic and ignored the akathisia symptoms. I was then put into the community mental health on discharge from hospital the psych doctor continued on the injection even though I pleaded that I didn't feel normal I was walking 23 hours a day not sleeping all I could do was pace and move my legs constantly and I had the worst impending doom feeling and lost touch of my emotions and had no sexual feelings left. For six months I was on fortnightly injections I complied reluctantly because I knew I would be sectioned if I didn't continue with treatment. I stopped the injection 6 weeks ago when I seen the tribunal again after 6 months and they seen the state I was in shaking, screaming and demanding they listen because I had been ignored and dismissed for so long. They seized my medication compliance immediately once I said akathisia( my psych never told me what it was I had to figure it out myself).

My question is is this standard protocol for a first time drug induced psychosis and why were my symptoms of akathisia and pssd ignored
