No, I am not referring to getting high/substance abusing. I am saying that if, for example, I am at work and am going through a particularly difficult day I think it's healthy to boost one of my meds a bit (with my p-doc's permission) so I have more of a "screen" (so every little thing doesn't slam into me so hard that I start having negative symptoms). Yes, I might feel a bit numbed-out for a few hours BUT I remain aware (mindful) of my breathing, my thoughts, my feelings, my actions. In other words, sometimes a bit of a med boost gives me the distance I need from swirling around in my own perceptions. Then I can be a more functional person.
