I am getting an episode

I am hearing a bunch of voices, and I am getting super self conscious. This happens around once a week, and it last 2 to 5 hours. It is super devastating. How can I help myself?

You should ask your psychiatrist for a PRN to get you over these rough patches.

What does PRN stand for. How well does a PRN work?

A PRN is just something you take when needed, like in emergencies. It could be anything. Like haldol or a benzo. Have a talk to your psychiatrist about it.

PRN :

The PRN prescription stands for ‘pro re nata,’ which means that the administration of medication is not scheduled. Instead, the prescription is taken as needed

Oh, I already take clonazepam and ambien, every time this happens.

Ok. I hope they help.

How well does it work, if you take an ap medicine, when you need to as a PRN?

Well, haldol works pretty quickly apparently. That’s what they give you in hospital as a PRN antipsychotic generally.
