So I had received involuntary psychiatric treatment, which consisted of long acting injectable antipsychotics for a period of 2 years. within a few months of being on them I developed a tremor which gradually got worse and worse especially under stress and physical exertion. I also developed full body tic's and a couple times couldn't control my eyes while out in public and was having uncontollable shaking regularly. I also now have restless leg syndrome and insomina and can never relax, I just started taking medication for this problem and will have to be on it for the rest of my life and its really effecting me knowing i'm on drugs forever. I also became suicidal after going through this and still am. I also was having having very severe sleep problems and my memory was getting horrible, I couldn't even follow a conversation at times.

What can I do?
