If you are medicated under section 2 or 3 then discharged, are you meant to continue taking the treatment or do you have a choice?

Hi all,

I’m unclear on what normally happens afterwards.

If the RC elects to treat you with medication under section does that continue after section ceases?

Does the RC’s legal authority still stand afterwards and you have to take medication?

Do you have choice in the matter during the handover phase to HTT or CMHT whilst you are in the ward just about to be discharged?
