I just want to say before watching this video that it is GRAPHIC.... leading up to this i went through a med change, from haldol for Schizophrenia, to Geodon.....this medicine made me hear commanding voices. i was on curfew for a previous VA related case and i ran out of my house for fear of my life......told the police that showed up to my 911 call, and instead of taking me to the VA they took me to jail. the bad med was no longer given to me....but i refused to take meds because it was one that made me homicidal....i slipped and fell into POW mode. i was in hillsborough county jail in tampa. they tried to give me meds and i just got worse and worse....but they never entered my cell just opened the door and tried to give me meds. Well i was transferred to Pasco County jail. after taking a regiment of meds....one days worth still really out of it. after getting there im put in a cell till court...about a day.... i was psych so no bond....i was going through some bad stuff mentally but i did not hurt anyone or resists anything i was complying. then they transfer me to Psych/MED they didnt search the cell before putting me in , i found this out after 5 minutes of being in there they needed to do a search and two nice guards young guys said that they didnt and they needed to.....i kindly asked them that i wanted someone wrote up for this because i could have lost my life, killed or injured someone with something in the cell. and spent the rest of my life in there.... guard agreed and went to his LT LT said no, so i said im not letting them in, LT said no again.......they used tear gas on the entire ward... a guard put his hands through the door telling me to break it...i did nothing....when the tear gas came out i just laid on my rack.....someone went to the hospital due to the teargas, and i said i have never seen such a bunch of incompetent irresposible set of people in my life, you just tear gased 20 cells all on MED watch.....they blamed me...... next shift came on, and they told me they were going to shoot me....i was pretty calm in my cell with all the halucinations, and voices i was at peace. then they pulled out the shotgun and i went nuts. you cannot use that within 20 ft or its lethal, and especially at 8 ft. let alone point blank The other thing is that while i believed i was a POW i was drinking Urine, so my body was shutting down, i could feel it. they said i couldnt get meds or go to the Hospital unless they shot me....so to save my life i went up against them My question is, since i went into the psychosis for my med change can i claim the injuries from the GSW and the ordeal...... Here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA5d0QfQw1M

http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/DrugSafety/ucm088616.pdf 2009 http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/DrugSafety/UCM362232.pdf 2013 My platoon tested this in Aug 2003 at the end of basic training we were given interogation training, we processed our security clearances that day and then we were psyops to believe there was a bioterror threat we were then told it was a drill but there was an active threat in Iraq and they needed testers for this drug because it was being deployed and people were getting messed up. We were given a packet of psychological questions to answer, then volunteers were selected, we had to sign a waiver. We were allowed to pick the dose to test. If you took a big enough dose it lasted a day or so, they put us through SF (army) testing and blah blah blah the idea was to see if we could handle basic and advanced soldiering techniques after taking this drug and how we could handle it afterwords. I have a battle that took the drug at ft knox in 04 I have another battle that i will have chime in that took the drug in 02 or 03 this was all at basic training at the end we were issued pills , we were told not to ask questions and the DS's said they couldnt tell us what it was but if we didnt take it we wouldnt be in the Army, we were told this three days to graduation after ftx we had to take them. This was the psyop to see who would volunteer not everyone took this one it was a placebo, then security clearances were ran inspected and followed up on, that coincided with the interrogation training. Then you were asked to volunteer. Up to that point the only thing you got was your dixie cup, then you volunteered and signed your waiver most of us took pretty high doses to help those that were in the thick of it out there we had battle buddies or soon to be battle buddies over there this was oif one, the bioterror threat was all in the news before we left for basic and everyone was going into MOP4 in the news taking incoming scuds so we had alot of volunteers i want to hear your stories. testers only respond in this thread for those that took it in iraq i know in 07-08 you were issued a blue or yellow thing with a pill in it or the pill was the color, blackouts loss of sight seizures were immediate hearing loss was immediate. I have schizophrenia ptsd there is no diagnosis i know of except Lariam exposure. For some the side effects go away others it doesnt. If it doesnt seek treatment the drug is serious, alot of suicides have been contributed to this due to seeing things and the dreams. Its been put in TIME magazine that a soldier stabbed himself in the head 22 times after taking this stuff probably in 03 02 so most dont have to worry, but seek help and try to make light of the things you see, psychologically i dont even think NASA has a program for mental torture and tests to put a astronaught through WARNING Atypical antipsychotics will build up in your system after years and will elevate ptsd to the max, side effects of those is agitation and agressive behavior so if you notice it say something, i had a shitty VA doc that wouldnt take me off, you can choose your doctors, if you dont like him/her fire them. hulamatt Tbird if you want to edit delete or move its all yours

Thank you very much i almost cried when i saw this, i was rated for schozophrenia but there was no nexus to lariam if someone can get that it would be amazing, im gonna watch this forum like a hawk, to help with the lariam guys harrys day. Depending on dose i have major memory loss and my thought process changes, kinda like a light switch gets flipped and my perspective and thought process will change there were yellow and blue ones that were given out in iraq around 08 07 they wouldnt say what was what just that they were anit malaria one color messed people up loss of sight and other things the other color did nothing, i head some platoons walking offsite with theirs and throwin them away

Tbird. If you see this could we get a forum just on lariam in specialized claims, lots of people recieved alot of different symptoms from it, it is one hell of a drug

Watch out for the atypical antipsychotics knce they build up in your system they cause agitation and agressive behavior, took 6 years on risperdol for me to snap, doc wouldnt take me off it despite numerous request and i lived jn a house with kids and wife, who are with me no more due to this lariam is some insane shit, think about it, it causes schizophrenia amongst other things where are the guys that had to take it to bring it down to the acceptable levels they are now, shit loads of soldiers at knox into thousands i know they were testin issueing it in platoon formations from when i was there aug03 till 04 that a battle buddy confirmed for me we are paranoid as shit

Me and my platoon tested doses of this in 2003 as the war in iraq was breaking out we were sold that there was a bioterror threat being malaria and they were looking for volunteers to test it, ran multiple psochological psyop experiments on us to see how we performed under stress went through interrogation training and the had us fill out abhuge packet of moral shoot no shoot report dont report what would you do in this situation questions, this stuff messes people up its the agent orange of oie oef

Every lawyer ive talked to is like hmmm, going to meet somenpersonally and pay for their time andnthe case if i have to. Inhave 1151 recourse but its my kids and female im worried about because they suffered alot due to the docs malpractice, im going to read the lawyer selection forum in a minute

Any recourse for veteran families that are injured "ptsd" due to va malpractice? All help appreciated thanks?

the docs wont show my request to remove the med from regiment, but its there id have to subpena doctor and hope he doesnt lie but he probably will but me and my caregiver but witnessed me asking to remove me from the risperdol, i printed out standard form 95 but not sure how to proceed. The doc notes are pretty standard, there is one thing in there that stood out but i forget, now as far as the inpatient i will get med notes tomorrow, but ill just supena the........ Out of everyone they all wont lie on the stand, they could be protected under the federal whisleblowers act and i could tell them that and have them use it so they arent punished, i just dont know the procedure, how to get infront of a judge, and the steps i got to go through to be ok when i get there, i got some standard form 95 or somethin mods can move this to right forum 1151 or ftca, this med center is f........ Down here

I am service connected for schizophrenia, and now possibly some other things i had been taking risperdol for 5 years under va medical care, i will not name the facility but i switched to somewhere down south, the doctor would not hear my complaints about the drug that everytime i took it i got extremly agressive agitated pissed off and couldnt control it. I asked the doc on 5-6 occasions to take me off it or give me a shot so i didnt have to take it everyday in hopes that three days would suck instead of 31 anything else, requested haldol. Meanwhile i got a caretaker my ex fiance and she was there and saw me ask this drugs side effects from prolonged use are extreme agitation mood swings agression and anger. My step mom is a pharmacist for the VA and when i told her about this guy and how he didnt believe in schizophrenia and wanted to do gastrointestinal checks she said hes gotta be a young guy that doesnt know any better, and she hit it on the head. Well after about6-8 months of trying to do what i could to stop the side effects alcohol and what not to calm myself down changing dosing times and just plain old stopping on my own when i could the perfect storm happened and i picked up 6 charges in one night, fleeing to elude the swat team had to ram my truck to get me out they made all the helicopters leave and were personally coming in to get me which i and everyone at the scene took as the police saying dude your gonna die come out the negotiator ran infont of swat to get me out he was a vet, i got out was taken down and everything, i told them i had a weapon but i didnt. Non violent but i picked up a domestic charge so not totally. The three months leading up to that day were unbearable.mfor my entire family my fiance/wife and three kids, my ptsd was amped to 12 and i was snapping on everyone, then thirty minutes later id come to apologize and realize what was going on and explain to them i couldnt help ot i dont know why im so mad or pissed and yelling all the time. I was unbearable to be around, i wouldnt be surprised if they have ptsd from my e, i wouldnt call it emotional abuse but just pure no word for it, just unsubstantiated anger. Like i said before leading up to this event i saw it coming on and tried to get help and the va would not change the med the doc didnt think i had a mental disorder and i dont really think that he believes in them. Well i got a new doc a year ago who taught the quack in med school. Fast forward to three weeks ago, my meds needed to be corrected something was going on, i had feeling in my face like i was in the CS/gas chamber, burning all over two days after that i was in psych ward. The doc wanted to give me the same drug risperdol i said no way last time i was on that the swat team had to get me, he said your taking it, i asked for another doc and was denied, he kept coming up to me the next three days saying to take it. Red flag one. Why if im not gonna take it when i leave i refused to take it. I went off on him the second time callin him insane for wanting to give me that and asked to have another doctor denied. He wasnt going to let me leave inless i took it, after day three of him trying to make me take it and denieing me of my legal right for another doctor i went off on the whole ward for violating my civil rights, i wasnt allowed to control hippa consent i wasnt allowed to have an advanced directive i wasnt allowed a dnr and i wasnt getting meds to help me only lithium and him pushing the psychotic drug on me, i lit that mother fucken floor up like a four star in a situation room for all the lies they were doing and being shady, it would be med time and they would say heres your risperdol, and id say wtf do you mean i told you assholes 5 times im not taking that shit, oh thats not for you thats another patient they said biggest bs ever. nurses couldnt help me doc just sat there and was a smart ass the whole time the week there i saw him 5minutes i shit you not total, well i seeked out a few nurses that seemed sympathetic but they still couldnt help me, so i asked them what was going on. Turns out all this shit was coming from the director, i lit up ig abuse hotline called director patient advocate everything i could, i used the patient handbook and asked why it said i have rights to a new doc and all these other things and cant use them, patient advocate never called back the whole hospital never called back from my complaints, director apparently wasnt there, nothing, my social worker never talked in the three weeks i was there to me. So i apologized to the nurses because they were in fear of losing their jobs thats why they couldnt help. So i asked a doc that seemed nice if i could use him instead, he said you dont want me and smiled like something was up, then he said he would have to be worse than my doc on me, and it clicked they were trying to get me to take risperdol to say well he had it here again and nothing happened, its insanity, ive never been to a POS va mc like this one. My doc and his resident backtracked two times and said they never said risperdol to me, anyways after i made the phone calls to the agency that regs hospitals they got nice and said they saved my life cause i was calm, and they must had done something right and the doc on discharge minus two said ok lets try another drug abilify or zyprexa, but i want you to take risperdol, i said abilify and i was out of there in two days, and he fianlly said after three weeks well if you have a disposition to the drug you probably wont take it when you get out of here(risperdol) no xxxxxxx shit doc you didnt figure that out the first day two weeks ago when i said i cant take it and wont, i know i have a case here for the first time, and second, just dont know where to start. Patients are in control of their meds so dont let anyone tell you otherwise, i had to learn the hardest most extreme way to not let these docs tell you that they know my body my head my symptoms my reactions better than me
