> I have these thoughts that I might do something risky. Like I might not be able to control the bad thoughts I have in my head. I can't feel my emotions. Like sometimes I might flip out and not know right from wrong. This is totally out of character for me! I had this happen while taking Celexa and now on Effexor. Should I call my Pdoc or wait til next week when I have an appointment. I am scared to death! What if I carry out these thoughts? It has to be the meds because I never felt this way before. Please don't ask what the thoughts are, I am too embarrassed. Anyone else have this happen? Thanks GloriaHi Gloria
I think you should call your Pdoc right now. If this has started since you started the meds there probably is a connection,right?
I would guess that you probably won't carry out these thoughts, but it sounds horrible to be tormented by them. If your Pdoc doesn't think it's the meds maybe he can at least offer some reassurance.
I did have something similiar to that happen to me once, but it was so long ago I can't remember what medicine I was on. Looking back , it seems like I was having obsessive-compulsive symptoms (one of the few disorders I've managed to escape).
I was almost overwhelmed with the impulse to say and do things that were as you say totally out of character. It stopped when I stopped the medicine and those feelings thankfully never came back. It was agonizing and since then I've always had tremendous respect for people who have to deal with OCD.So my advice is call your Pdoc. Good wishes, hope you'll let us know how this works out.
