I’m schizophrenia and autism. I am a convicted sex offender and am being strongly told I must take the testosterone block medication andracur. Do you think I should be able to refuse.

    Yes I know that. My life is screwed really though. If I go back to prison I will probably get beaten up again but if I take the drugs it will seriously change me I will get fat and grow breaststroke more than likely and more serious stuff. Thinking that at 21 I won’t be able to jack off Is very daunting

      Brother, I’d think about how you can not mess up the same way in the future, not about how your appearance is gonna be or how you might not be able to beat it. It seems like you’re just wanting everyone to ignore what you did because it effects you negatively.

        I know that. I am also on strong antipsychotic depot injections of haloperidol. My head is screwed up I’m not making excuses. My autism efects my thinking I needed help when I was 18 and I maybe would not be a convict now.

          No, I’d say you aren’t making excuses. You’re just worrying about the wrong things. You needed help, I assume you’re getting help now. Let them help. If this is what’s being recommended, I’d listen
