I've been in your situation (fellow Aussie) on a long weekend. My advice - do not go to emergency and be placed in the public system. Hold out until you can get into a private hospital. The public system could do more harm - especially if you have never been inpatient before. I went in, got stuck in a locked ward for 5 days, they took me off all of my meds and changed them all dramatically and quickly before I was transferred to a private clinic who again changed all the meds drastically, it was an awful time.

When my 5mg PRN wafers dont work I put it up to 10mg until I see the Pdoc.

Increasing my AP (Zeldox) has always got me out of a mixed episode so I have the go ahead to do that whenever I feel necessary. I also have the ok to up the clonazepam to 4mg as needed.

Do you have a vapouriser for the weed? That can give you a different high that might calm you a bit. Also I dont know if you are male or female but could hormones be playing a part in this? Sometimes if we realise there is a reason, it can be easier to handle.

Do you meditate at all? When you're out of this episode it might be helpful to start so at least on bad days you can meditate a few hours away. Does exercise help? I find being around animals to be helpful as well.

Goodluck, feel free to PM me if you need to chat.
