Getting out of CTO

hi

What is the best way to get out of a CTO ?
What is the best lifestyle ?
What are the best things you can say ?
What are the best things you can do ?
What are things you shouldn’t do ?

i’m misdiagnosed and am not schizophrenic

What’s CTO dude?

Community treatment order
Usually with court ordered forced medication

So you have to take your meds.
Do you take em?

i didn’t do for a while but now i do

Don’t they help?
Don’t you believe you have sz?

I had a burnout or mental breakdown or whatever you call it
I don’t find medications helpfull at all not one have helped
Only anti-depressants helped a fair bit
I never had hallucinations, voices or anything like that

Back in 2008, a judge ordered me into the State Hospital for evaluation and treatment if needed. There wasn’t any beds available at the State Hospital, so I ended up in the psychiatric ward at Baptist Hospital. I sat all day at the State Hospital while they called various facilities to find one to take me.

I was only in the hospital for a month until I was released.

CTO is treatment while staying in the community

I was on CTO for about 2 years I think it was, maybe a 1.5 years. I just kept taking my meds and my mom told my pdoc I was doing well. When I spoke with him he could see I was doing better and then he cancelled it.

Oh. Sorry. I was in legal trouble because I committed domestic violence. Mostly just verbal threats, but I did vandalize my mom’s car. I’m in the USA and haven’t heard of CTO. Here you have to agree to be treated or they will send you to jail.

Maybe I should say cooperate with the order or they put you in jail. You have to take your meds, talk to the therapist and pdoc, ect.

Sz is real tricky disease. Getting out of a cto you need to behave for awhile. Maybe keep staying off the drugs and alcohol. I don’t know if you committed the crime of public nuisance.

Here we got a mental health law centre. They specialise on cto.

Paging @bobbilly on this one

Stay out of trouble
Stay away from drugs and excessive alcohol
Don’t be erratic
Don’t be aggressive
Comply with treatments

Show them you are as well as you think you are.

Although, if you’ve been given a CTO, there’s a chance you may be more psychotic than you think.
What caused you to get it? What kinda breakdown did you have?

And sometimes we don’t see an effect from the meds, but those around us see a major change

I have an auto immune disease
The breakdown was due to stress heavy burnout
Spiritual crisis you can also say

i also got a shot of invega in order to get released from the hospital … biggest mistake of my life and sick as hell total loss of motivation, brainfog, insomnia, muscle spasms, heart issues and a load of other side effects… its really hard to pretend everything is going fine when this shot ruined my life completely

because of the invega im inconsistent with what i think and say i never had this problem before taking the shot

My pdoc says I have to continue taking the Invega shop every month for 2 years without any problems before he considerers me for Oral medication and I will need to take the Oral medication.

I have been on a CTO for 10 years.
