itzy (do you mind if i call you that? its kinda cute) - i once was going to kill myself because of all of my debt - then i realized i was choosing death over bankruptcy, which just sounded stupid! so to me it sounds like right now you are choosing suicide so you can avoid using your insurance - um, i think the choice is obvious....

screw the insurance & get yrself to the ER & get help! believe me, you are worth it, life is worth it, and the insurance will straighten itself later - that's the LEAST of your worries.

itzy i don't want to say the wrong thing here, and i'd be very very careful and really research the best way to use these and if they interact with anything you are taking, or wouldn't be good for you for some reason, but when i am in a pinch and i don't have any ap's i use benadryl.

the last time i used it it eliminated my mania after one time of using it...it pretty much just disappeared. i took it two more nights for good measure, because i wanted to be SURE i slept. well, i haven't had any mania since.

be really extra super careful though, that this is something that you would have no reason to be worried about taking.
and be careful with the dosage, too.

but it does work for me when i have nothing else, pretty well actually.
