I think if hallucinations keep happening despite the med asdjustment, thereby keeping you out of work, then I think you should seriously consider it. I think someone posted here that you have recently posted about both hallucinations and delusions. However, I think you should first consult you pdoc. He may think this last adjustment will work. But you need to get this handled ASAP no matter what you need to do to make this happen. A few days of IP may do this for you. As it stands, if the med adjustment does not work, you may very well be out of work for a period of time anyways. JMO
As a side note, there was one time several years ago when I was taking care of my mother 24/7/365. Due to a previous hospitalization, I promised myself that I would never again go IP. Anyways, this was a very overwhelming long period of time which lasted for several years. I was taking a very rare break at Denny’s. The best I can explain it is derealization happened. This made me very troubled after it was over with. Also my meds were not working for me very well. My hands also were shaking allot. I seriously considered going IP. Even friends who are against psychotropic meds told me that is what I should do. I needed to be functional. But the thought of having no one to take care of my mother while I am IP convinced me that I needed to stay out of the hospital. She needed specialized intensive care. But at the same time, I think that would of been the best for me to do, to go IP. If it would of become much worse, I would of called APS for a temporary placement solution, and then went IP. Keep in mind that I would of been risking the loss of the care of my mother by doing this. What is necessary is necessary.
PS I am results oriented. This is why I think this way.
