Prn medication whilst inpatient
Has anyone been on anything other than lorazepam/diazepam/promethazine/olanzapine because they all don't work on me anymore (olanz never worked and I've had the other too much) and I'm just wondering if anything else might help?

Haliperidol has helped me and clonazepam helps other. I guess it depends what you want the prn to do? Like call you down, reduce psychotic symptoms etc

I've heard Mirtrazapine is good.

Thanks for the replies guys.
I'm already on mirtazapine and don't find it very sedating. Ideally I'd like something sedating for night (zopiclone doesn't really work either anymore) and something to calm me down during the day. I'm not sure they would prescribe another anti psychotic because I'm already on olanzapine. It's annoying loraz and prometh don't work anymore. Could you have haloperidol if you're already on another anti psychotic? Is clozepam a benzo like loraz?

do you like my potato?

Sorry I find it strange that you're asking an internet forum for drug advice when you're currently in hospital. Your psychiatrist will be the person to ask about this as they have medical training. You can also ask the hospital pharmacist.

Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different…
you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.

I agree with Ames, wait until you get to the ward to see the doctors and talk about medication.

I agree with the above and also it's worth looking at non pharmaceutical methods of managing, for example, talking to people, distraction etc, although I can appreciate that's not always possible depending on staffing levels.

Also consider asking to have your regular meds reviewed...they might be able to make changes which mean you don't feel the need to take PRN. This can be a better option if you risk becoming psychologically dependant on PRN.
