Coping good-high not: First, it is not coping to plan to "get high"! nutmeg can alter your mental status but it take s a great deal, and is likely not at all pleasant. Mental illness of any type needs a good diagnosis to direct care. Mental health care can be obtained at many places without having hospital care. Please contact your health department to find out where to go for help.

Take care: High doses of herbs can have issues sometimes like blood thinning. You may want to see your doc. There are meds available generic as well as many meds are available free though patient assistant programs
