I keep some antipsychotics in the house for an emergency like that. They subdue me quite quickly. The only problem is I hate taking them.
Right on Tsunamisurfer. My credit card goes right to my husband. I also take an extra Seroquel whenever my husband sees me get too high because I have a tendency to go into psychosis, which I don't remember any of the things I say and do while I am psychotic. Mel, when your license was pulled, that is a signal that you are too high and should take proper actions to help yourself come down a lot. You should probably call your mental health provider and have a med adjustment and a med. you can take PRN when you are in this state.
