Since 2009 I have been scammed by three deceitful doctors and I need to know what my legal options are - Lemmy.World

Doc 1 (JT) game me the wrong bipolar diagnosis. He diagnosed me in 2009. He looked up the wikipedia article on mania and read me the checklist. After I said “yes” to enough questions he diagnosed me with bipolar 1 and put me on seroquel and geodon I have lost 16 years of my life because of bipolar meds. I am only manic when I am under the influence of drugs. My current doctor, RO, whose English isn’t that great, thinks I am lying. When I told him I needed adderall, I spent 10 minutes explaining to him that adderall doesn’t trigger my mania (only caffeine does). His exact words were “You see, adderall, the thing is…it make you manic” Doc 2 (FM) gave me electroconvulsive therapy I did not need. He only recommended it because he was the one doing it, so he got paid. I have been unable to feel stronjgj emotions since Jan 2019 because of this. Doc 4 (DP) prescribed me benzos when he knew I was binge drinking. I have been unable to sleep a full 8 hours a night without alcohol and benzos in my system because of him. I quit drinking three years ago. Doesn’t matter. Without alcohol and benzos I can only sleep two hours a night. I woke up 3 and a half hours ago at midnight, and that was after drinking 5 8% ABV beers. I need klonopin (at least 2 mg) to get a full night’s sleep So what are my options? I am prepared to call the police and tell them everything when I am taken to a crissi center against my will later today.

Hey kenny like I told you in your last post you can always request new doctor if you are not comfortable and have re evaluation/ medication adjustment. It’s really important to be honest of your needs and medical wishes. Adderall is stimulant , if caffeine triggers mania for you then any other stimulant can have high potential to cause manic episode maybe that why your doctor is worried . Right now best thing is to think about your situation at hand and try understand why things are happening. That why getting medical files and having someone go over them with you , may help you understand the issue at hand . If you are still drinking then yes psych meds may have stronger effect than desired and can make undesirable symptoms. If you are struggling with alcohol i would seek treatment and if you are mixing benzodiazepines with alcohol you can seriously harm yourself . That may be why they are admitting you is because it’s dangerous. They maybe concerned of medical emergency if you are mixing . Please take care of yourself and be kind to yourself.

You don’t understand. Caffeine, THC, and alcohol trigger mania. Opiates, LSD, mushrooms, ketamine, ecstasy, MDMA, and meth do not.

The alcohol you say you can’t sleep without, alongside mixing with benzos?

Do you even remember the other things you’ve said here? None of this adds up to a picture in your favor.

Im not going argue but i am telling you as someone who study pharmaceuticals . Stimulants ( e, meth , coke , caffeine ect… ) and mixing alcohol with you psychiatric meds will cause manic induced episode , as well psychosis . You are playing very dangerous game and i hope you can get help

You’re kidding yourself, coming from someone who’s been down the back alley with all of these except meth, replace that with dexedrine. I was misdiagnosed bipolar from 16-21 before it was determined to be borderline.

I think you’re in denial about those drugs not causing mania, I don’t judge you negatively for that though, it is what it is. I recognize and empathize with your point of view because I used to share it. But all drugs can cause mania in the right (wrong?) circumstances. There are a few that stand out though. Specifically ecstasy, MDMA, and meth. Strong uppers always carry a chance of starting a manic episode, proportional to how unstable you’re feeling. Shit sometimes I used to think I was manic before I came down.

Just trying to give you some shit to think about. I hope you do.
