Was hyperventilating w/ panic until top of head felt as if would blow off; severe, unimagineable, frightening nervous breakdown.
Went to hospital where ALL MEDS meds were changed as follows:
From Xanax cross tapered; to VALIUM. From trazodone for sleep and Eff-XR; to SEROQUEL 300mg for sleep & 25mg prn anxiety, and TRILEPTAL 300mg 2X a day.
All these new meds begun approx. 5 days ago.
I am anxiety/panic/hyperventilating free. But, I am a relaxed ZOMBIE!
I have appts to attend to and no way to get there on my own. Don't believe I can drive my car. Don't believe could walk very far. Not quick enough on the mindset to bus. I do live alone on a low income.
Never had auditory or visual hallucinations Never had a seizure, that I know of, and do not have epilepsy. My dx is borderline. I realize the similarity between borderline dx and hypomanic dx.
I don't know what to do. My P wants me to tell him what I want to do, and never having been in this 'zombie' (yet no panic/anxiety) state, I cannot tell him what med I do or do not want.
I have appts at 11a and 3p AZ time today.
Can anyone SHARE PLS; nowhere else to turn.
