How do paramedics treat drug induced psychosis?
One time i took acid and it triggered a full psychotic episode, took 4 police officers to handcuff me to a stretcher and put me in an ambulance. my memory of it is fragmented so i dont remember a lot of it but i eventually woke up in hospital feeling mostly normal (safe to say i never have and never will ever take a psychedelic ever again).
my question for paramedics is how would u guys usually go about treating a patient in a situation like this? i have no idea if i was given anything to stop it or not, i woke up with some sort of IV in my arm feeling mostly normal but have no idea what it was or how i was treated. what would be the usual way a paramedic would deal with this? have any of u had to deal with similar situations before?
