Hi, welcome

 

Sorry you've been waiting a while and the reason is likely that no one here has experience in that field. We are peer advisors with lived experience and among us all there will be the odd topic that we cannot answer.  I suggest you contact the relevant department to seek a reply.

 

BTW, thankyou for reaching out and I hope your hospitalisation is brief and soothing for a return to your normal activities. We are here if you'd like to post again

I suppose it will largely depend on a psychiatrist's call, which would be based on one or more conversations with you.  Every time I've rung 000, including for mental health crisis reasons, they've told me to take all medications with me.  My HRT regimen wasn't stopped during my 17 night stay in a psych hospital.
