The symptoms you explained yesterday are consistent with what I experience during psychosis.
What is the harm in trying the increased dose during this patch of instability? You can always decrease at a later time.
Also, I know you mentioned the Tegretol was not working so you are stopping it. How did you go about stopping? Sudden withdrawal can cause various mental issues, so I'm wondering if that may be at play.
Are there other IOP programs available? It would be nice to have a group to be around while your meds are being adjusted. It is better than ending up in IP. Just something to consider.
