When in a crisis that leads to IP has anyone else been put on massive doses of Anti-psychotics and Benzodiazepine's to bring you down?
Right now I take 30mg Olanzapine (Zyprexa), 6mg of Clonazepam(Klonopin) and up to 6mg of Lorazepam(Ativan) a day. Should be unconscious drooling but I am still wound up, but in calm way. Guess this way when the SI hits me I am too drugged to act. Maybe thats the doctors plan. It is a lot of drugs but i think I need them or I will act out my darkness.
Anyone else been this sedated and still functional? Did the short-term sedation bring you out of your episode quickly?
