Hi @Justatadcrazy
Welcome to the Sane forums and sorry to read that you are feeling edgy and shaky at the moment.
I assume you gradually stopped your medication under the guidance of your GP or psychiatrist. Did your Dr give you a number you can call for after hours emergency advice & care?
If not, it's best to ask a friend to take you to your nearest public hospital for medical assessment if you are having psychotic type symptons e.g. high anxiety with paranoid thoughts, visual or auditory hallucinations (hearing voices etc) or bizarre type behaviours.
Another option is to call the local Crisis Assessment Team from public mental health services in your State. They are 24/7 and will do an assessment over the phone.
It's vital that you call a friend to help you to link with MH services.
Let us know how you get on, or if you need contact numbers (please mention your State but not address).
kind regards,
Frog
