[edit] "One Victim's Tale"

I have removed the following section from the article:

Ten years ago I was repeatedly injected with sufficient zuclopenthixol decanoate to render me unconscious for 4 days at a time, as a treatment for prescribed dexamphetamine induced psychosis. I had never been the least bit violent, and had never refused medication as it had been insisted that I had. For 18 months I had an insatiable need to pace, and revert to this state whenever anxious. For 2 years I had chronic balancing difficulties and the spontaneous inversion phenomenon still persists. I experienced testicular atrophy and grew manboobs, both conditions persist to this day. Yes, I have permanent, chronic akithisia in both legs and grind my feet all day and night. I am impotent and have a 25 hour sleep cycle that doesn't synchronise with daylight. I am always on edge, cannot relax my muscles and experience the awfull sensation of not having showered for months. I lost all fitness and gained 40kg. This is a bad, bad medicine that is simply inhuman to inflict upon any living thing.

I am sorry that the user who added this comment had such a terrible experience, but Wikipedia articles are not the place for personal testimony. Information added to articles must be attributable to reliable, published sources. Fvasconcellos (tยทc) 16:05, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
