Hey there!I'm a posting virgin.Everyone seems to know their sh*% here when it comes to head meds, so I'm hoping you can help me.I am 33, was diagnosed BPD years ago, thought that I only needed therapy, not drugs to help.(Stupid!)After I realized there'd be no swimsuit in my near future because I cut my thighs, instead of my arms,the voices I started hearing at night weren't because my house was haunted, one cannot exist on 2 hours of sleep a day,and every stranger that looked at me didn't hate me, I got on the meds 4 months ago. I am now up to 20mg. Lexapro & 50mg Seroquel. The drugs really have helped. I could do without the dreams that are so real I confuse them with reality, and the tiredness. But overall I feel much better.So much better, that like an idiot I decided to cancel my last Psych visit to go shopping. Kept putting off rescheduling. Now I'm out of meds. No refills left. Docs out of town till Mon.(5 days to go)& I have been out for 2 days already. I already am getting mild headaches, and have been kinda snappy w/ people~PLEASE tell me what I can expect (withdrawal) until then! And how long will it take for the meds to start working once I'm back on. Please don't tell me it's another 4 weeks!Thanks for reading my rambling, and I hope you can help.~Cori
