Should my brother go off his medication in this case?

What's the deal with these prostitutes? I mean, this is a pretty significant part of the story.

Prostitutes don't want to have sex with their clients. They're trapped in a terrible situation. I don't think many people can understand what it's really like for them, since not many people escape that way of life, but I think it's safe to say that they're not out there having a good time.

That being said, what does it do to a person to have their only intimate encounters being with people who are being trafficked or forcing themselves to have sex with you? That has to make your brother feel awful. He really can't be allowed to keep doing that. I see that as serious as a heroin addiction. And I do not say that lightly.

It sounds to me like he's trying to destroy himself. You guys need to find out why he has such a hatred for himself. That's the real problem here.

When women are not particularly sociable, some men are just itemizing what they have to offer.

There is normally nothing to negotiate.

A couple of life skills, which have been discussed, here, this week --
Keeping score
What's good for the goose is good for the gander, ie. The same rules apply to all parties, involved.

What if men were trafficked. Are they still culpable.

The problem with this is that nice isn't really nice unless you continue to be nice when the person isn't doing exactly what you want them to do. Everybody is nice when things are going exactly our way.

Honestly, some of those rejections are probably based on his autistic behaviors. It probably really is hard for your brother to find women who are able to accept his autistic mannerisms. But the ADA (Americans with disabilities act) guarantees people with disabilities equal access to housing, education, and employment. It does not guarantee equal access to pussy-time. Sex isn't a human right and nobody is owed any woman's attention.

I get that you can't really answer for your brother. You can, at least, not encourage his rage by putting forth the idea that it's justified. You can continue to express that you love him and that you are concerned that this behavior is going to get him into trouble. There is a certain amount of letting other people make their own mistakes that needs to happen.

As for the medication, that is a question that only your brother can answer. If you parents have medical guardianship, they may have some control, but it doesn't sound like they do. If he's an adult, he's got to decide for himself if he's better off with or without it.

Personally, from all the information you, and others have presented, (and I am not a Doctor) it sounds like he is having a MAJOR reaction to his meds. I can relate, since I had massive anger, finance, and eating problems while I was on different meds. (Prozac made me meaner than a cornered raccoon, Effexor, gave me massive tinnitus, amitriphyline, made me act like a drunk, Celexa made me a zombie, buspar did absolutely nothing for my anxiety, and Viibryd made me suicidal, made me high, and made my tinnitus permanent. And you wonder why I have no faith in antipsychotics?) if I were you, I'd be taking him to his psychiatrist, tell him or her the behaviors he has been exhibiting, and have him or her draw up a plan to titrate off this drugs. Otherwise, he may end up either in jail or dead.

That's my $.02, based on personal experience.

I cannot agree more with everything Somanyspoons has said in this thread, and that last paragraph I've quoted is really good advice.

Okay thanks. So if the psychotherapist says he should stay on them, then should we just see what happens and hope this is all a phase within him?

ANY drug is ALWAYS mind-altering/mood-changing.
Anybody who thinks otherwise is Delusional.

What your friend needs is a proper re-programming of his sub-conscious mind via some form of hypno-therapy. Yes, I think he needs to get off the drugs and learn to eat healthy foods instead, but psycho-active drugs are NOT things that can simply be quit cold-turkey in a safe-manner. Had a friend from around a decade ago who had been on Prozac all of his life (due to Psychiatric Swine), and I did not know just how dangerous Psychotropic-Drugs were at the time, and he believed me when I thought and also believed at the time that quitting Cold-Turkey would be the best/fastest way to detox the poisons from his system. The result ? I get a call from his dad, less than two days since we had last met somewhere, and was informed that my friend committed suicide from hanging himself. That was devastating... I have reason to believe that my friend was autistic and I had basically been his best friend at the time (possibly only friend and in many ways vice-versa).

I DO «know» that hypno-therapy DOES «work» and has been a successful method of treatment, even according to many people on these boards, for their psychological-issues/ailments/problems/phobias/addictions/etc., even when all other treatment-methods had failed. The re-programming of the sub-conscious mind is essentially the needle-in-the-hay-stack that seems to evade/elude society due to the Industry of Psychiatry having become a Dangerous Drug-Pushing Cult-Religion.

Okay thanks... I am really sorry to hear about your friend, that's terrible!

I already suggested hypnotherapy to my parents before, but they said they do not believe in it, for religious/spiritual reasons. So they threw that one out already, without even giving it a second thought, cause they are just really against the belief of hypnotism.

They said that if his sub-conscious mind is completely changed around, he will become a different person and loose his identity, so to speak.

Your parents are not «sane» and neither are any «Fundamentalist» Religions;
They are most-certainly more Religious than Spiritual if they cannot «humble» themselves enough to listen to «contra/opposing» view-points for long enough (and in this case at ALL) in order to try and understand the reasons/logic/minds/mentality behind how anybody could possibly come to the conclusion of the effectiveness of hypno-therapy style techniques/methods.

The only result that can come out of willful-ignorance is more «suffering» bestowed upon those who continue to be so vain and arrogant. Dogmatism has never been the answer to anything throughout ALL of history. This refusal to listen/learn about view-points from sources other than what they are taught by ONE Institution/Religion is also, believe it or not, itself a «Mental-Illness» that has a grip over a minimum of at least 98% of the entire world's populations (i.e. : the entire world is essentially trapped by multitudes of beliefs that are the exact-OPPOSITE of Reality).

I can guarantee that the Drugs/Medications of your Bro IS a contributing «source» towards what IS causing his Behavioural-Changes. Like I said at the beginning, ALL «Drugs» are Mind-Altering and Mood-Changing substances, even if it's "merely" sugar (the processed/refined/unnatural-versions : for sugar causes hyper-activity followed by lethargy and also has «addictive» properties where the «withdrawal-symptoms» are generally that of «easily agitated/annoyed» and other such tapering effects). Anybody who cannot «see» this Reality is ironically «controlled» by «spirit-forces» themselves, and your Bro IS already «losing his identity» to forces that are able to «enter into his mind» as a result of the DRUGS that enable such «demonic-realms of sub-consciousness» to access his «mind» in the first place!

Many people already accept it as FACTUAL that drugs like Cocaine and Heroine are «Mind-Altering» substances. Even the FDA has classified Psycho-Active/Psycho-Tropic Drugs as Schedule II Controlled Substances and, if you do not yet know what that means, this is basically saying that Psychiatric-Meds/Medications ARE essentially in the same «classification» as Heroin/Cocaine/etc. I don't care if it's Prozac, Levitra, Zanex, Benzodiazapines, Invega, ANY other so-called Anti-Depressant/Anti-Psychotic/Anti-This/Anti-That/Anti-What-Ever, they are ALL deadly, they ALL contain Neuro-Toxins, and there was even a 14.4$ BILLION law-suit against Eli Lily (the makers of the so-called Anti-Psychotic Drug known as Zyprexa). Ignorance is NOT «Bliss» for ignorance is what leads to endless and eternal-suffering and Woe unto Those who are Willfully Ignorant. It's like, wow, God-forbid we bother trying to recognise truth as truth but instead promote deception-by-precedent as-if though it were somehow infallible !

Well I don't know what to do. I feel that this is outside my control, and not my decision to override, so not sure what to do at this point. I mean if hypnotherapy is so good, then why wasn't that recommended to him instead of these involuntary celibacy drama drugs in the first place...

The «Psychiatric» industry is essentially a Materialist Cult which is why.
Most people in Western cultures are still full of extreme ignorance over «spiritual» realities after all.
Furthermore, if Celibacy Drama Drugs were so Good, then why are they NOT working to «help» people ?
Listen to this Lady and even get her Book and read the Reviews and buy said book for your Parents...

Let me help you put this into perspective. I will quote ONE paragraph from Chapter VI of a well-researched book...

The Paragraph I just quoted comes from a book that was authored by Ian Currie.
The ISBN of said book is : 0-416-00191-2
The Paragraph comes from Chapter VI which is the chapter on Spirit-Possession.
This book's CopyRight comes from as far back as 1978 by the way.

Well my brother's behavior finally got the better of him and now he is in some legal trouble because of it, it seems. Or maybe just civil trouble. However, is he keeps getting more and more depressed and angry cause of how he is constantly rejected cause of his autism, which is finally causing him to snap more and more.

Is there any hope for him? I mean he can't make friends or form any relationships no matter how hard he tries, so is the situation perhaps just hopeless, and there is nothing for him to do but just be patient and wait one day till he dies, and moves onto a better place hopefully?

At least he has a brother and a family that cares about him. In my opinion that's all that really matters.

Many people, including me, are not so fortunate to have a brother and parents and family that truly cares about them. I feel so alone many times like I have no one who actually cares about me.

And yes women can be really mean and shallow, especially pretty young girls.

Some guy has said that many women in this generation are just whores who will just complicate your life and that you are better off without them.

Which guy said that?

My brother has gotten worse since I last posted on this thread. Now he is so bitter and angry he says he is having thoughts, of committing violence towards women and taking advantage of them for all the rejection that is happening to him.

Is he just destined to get worse and worse cause nothing will help him and society will just keep pushing him into a corner, and we should just accept it and nothing is going to change. Or is there something we can actually do to help him?

Do your parents know?
