I have accepted the crisis team now but with conditions:
No hospital
No baiting me
No scripted questions
Have to only tell me by phone an hour before
This way I feel better about it, and my requests were deemed reasonable given the circumstances
I refused diazepam as it took me 2 years to reduce from 30mg to 4mg a day
So they improvised and gave me Lorazepam 1mg 2 a day for three weeks as PRN

Thanks @shutterbug
I still have to continue with the 1.2 gram Amisulpride dose, but I hope when this ‘blip’ is done with that would come down again
I found lorazepam a very effective PRN, I took 1mg when needed for 17 years, maybe a couple times a month at most, sometimes I would go months and months without needing it, I never abused it and never had a problem with it. I don’t take it anymore though because I am now on 1.5mg clonazepam for insomnia every night.
Good luck with it!

Was it your new job that was stressing you?
Was the landscaping job less stressful?

Both were stressful
I am signed off sick until January now. Will see how I feel then and might go back to it
Also had the stress of med reduction and flat moving, but they have been stopped now
