Medication questions, please help it's urgent

[713]

Hi, first of all sorry if my post will be a bit messy, I am currently not very concentrated. Oh and I also want to say that the people reading this thread are most likely not professionals, but I would apreciate any advice of people knowing something about what I am going to write.
So I am on venlafaxine retard 225mg since about 3 weeks. Noted improvement last week, where I started getting really happy and had so much energy available. To me it was like I had found the myself I lost some years ago before everything happenend, again. I am also on 0.5 risperidone to keep my nervousness at bay (caused by discontinuing my previous meds against depression and psychotic symptoms.
I was really satisfied with this, a few tolerable side-effect, one of them which included losing weight and the other being, being able to stay up long, sleep 2-3 hours and get back out of bed as normal.
OK, I am finally coming to the point; this afternoon I had spasms in my left arm. I thought I would wait a bit if it stopped and if it didn't I would read the leaflets of the drugs which came to my mind of possibly being able to stop it. I have Akineton and lorazepame expedikt at home. Saw that lorazepame would help against it.
Then I sat on a chair and thought about what to do
if it occured again (in the meantime it had stopped)
So just then I started getting really lightheaded and realised my muscles would all start spasming if I stopped holding them. I quickly jumped off the chair and lay and the ground and well, let it happen. I wasn't unconsciousness, but I could just not stop it. Between the spasms was a break so I grapped a packet of lorazepame and started taking 0.5mg, then1mg, then 1 mg.
Then I waited, had some more spasms and it got better.
My first question is, should that happen again, is it better to take akineton or lorazepam? and in which doses? or should I see an emergency doc and try to get something different, which is difficult because they like putting people in psychiatric hospitals.
First managed, some more to go:
Should I reduce the trevilor? I really don't want to because I feel so great and it's the first ad that has ever helped me.
Since I took the lorazepam I am bit unsafe while walking, etc you probably know it anyway. BUT since this morning I had intrusive thoughts and now on the lorzepam I was having a walk and I saw different things, like eg some dirt on the ground. But I saw a cat there. When I got neared I realised it was dirt indeed. Things like that happened a lot this evening and I am a bit concerned because I don't know where to place it. While in the shower it seemed like the water coming down would talk to me.
Right now I am just very irritated and constantly have tics.
Help me please, what medication ( and which wouldn't you take in any case) would you take now to come back to normal? If you have an idea please tell me the train of thought so I can think it over.
Anything would really be appreciated. I am not allowed to become manic, depressed or psychotic at the moment.
Oh, and in case someone asks, my doctor is available from tuesday.
can;t sit here for long. it's happening again.

This sounds like an unsual problem and I don't think you should be self medicating as this can be very dangerous. Id you doctor isn't available can you go to the nearest a&e or emergency department and explain what's going on?

I think you need to see an emergency Doctor. Spasms that bad sounds very dangerous and even if it turns out to be normal, it's better to get checked out and know for definite.
Is there anyone that can take you? I don't think you should be alone right now and certainly do not drive yourself to A&E/ER

Thanks for your answers. I am glad someone read this.
I phoned my mother in between the fits and she wasn't as concerned as I was and just said I should ly on my bed and wait until it stops. I thouhght that was a stupid idea because I would fall off my bed if I had another episode and hit my head even harder. She also said in that annoyed voice that I could if it got bad I could see an ER dog, but that I must be clear that they are gonna but me in a psychiatric hospital. The german system is a bit different than NHS system, but I hope they would rather call a pyschiatrist to the ER than admit a patient who doesn't need admitting.
My dad and his girlfriend were home but I didn't tell them because they would either see it as attempt to get attention and laugh at me or they would be annoyed because I had another problem.
It stopped later on anyway, and much to the delight of my parents, I slept the whole night. The lorazepine is making be really dizzy and unconcentrated so I hope it's out of my body soon.
I hoped someone would give an advice on what to do with the doses, but I think I am going to take 225mg of venlafaxine, just as normal, and hoppen nothing scary happens.

I really think you should go to the ER. But if you really think you can't will you please definately go to your GP or another doctor ASAP?
This could be really dangerous.

Thanks for your answers so far. I have a bit of a problem going to the doctors if it's something physical because I think that's not serious enough, why should I bother. I didn't have a full blown epilleptic fit yesterday and only a few muscles are hurting today, so what's the point?
If I go to my GP on Monday he will send me to a psychiatric hospital because he can't reach my psychiatrist and because he knows nothing.
I don't want to go to such a hospital because those guys have an history of keeping me there.
In the ER, well, I just don't know what happens there. Would they send me to another hospital as well?
Really, I am just looking for information on what medication and in what dosage to use that medication if I start fitting again.
The lorazepam effect is slowly wearing off and I am in my a-bit-hyper state again, so I am happy that far. Will keep you updated on what happens.

We can't give you information on what to do about your medication or what dose to take. You need to speak to your doctor about that.

we are not allowed to give informations like that out, that is for your doctor to tell you, which i really think you should see.
