Hi @ArraDreaming u dont have to take meds, do u? Unless ur on a CTO.

[ArraDreaming]

I don’t know what that means @EternalFlower

[EternalFlower]

I was genhinely asking...why are meds forced on u? Cto is a community treatment order where people have forced meds. 

[ArraDreaming]

No I just meant he is going to try and make me take them again cause I been off them for a few years @EternalFlower that’s all

[EternalFlower]

Im sorry @ArraDreaming i cant explain it its not my role to ...

Okay @ArraDreaming 

I can't read everything that comes through here - I was in hospital for two weeks and missed a lot - sorry if I presumed too much.

One of the first contraindications of medical treatment is patient refusal - you don't have to take medication unless forced to and it takes more than one doctor to do that. If you feel anxious about that - and why not? then say so - don't avoid the GP who may have other ideas that would be helpful.

Take care of yourself
