I was an inpatient at Uptown House for around a month. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia and they put me on Invega which gave me a lot of negative side effects like tremors, nose bleeds, night sweats and headaches.
When I tried to tell them that, I didn't feel listened to and one of the staff even said I was pretending to shake. I felt like they didn't change my medication fast enough and I had to deal with those side effects for a while. I was subjected to a treatment order and I felt like they don't want to let me off the treatment order if I decide to go off my medication to see how I go without them.
