Sleep would help you greatly and haldol always knocks me the crap out. Anyway, I agree that you would likely become well faster if you go inpatient so it may be the best route. I hope you have an easy and fast landing.
Nobody has said that I or anyone else is in immediate danger as of Friday through today. I'm taking haldol as another AP ha funny you mentioned that, I'm taking that twice a day and I do feel significantly less wound up right now so that's good... I just hope I sleep tonight, if I don't I'm going to the hospital because **** that.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts/experiences everyone.
