Kathryn-
What you described sounds like a panic attack to me...it is a common symptom of a panic attack to feel like you are about to lose your mind...this is due to arterial constriction which is one of the bodies' fight or flight mechanisms...the body reduces blood flow to the brain and increases blood flow to the limbs so you can fight or run away...
> It's day 22 on 10 mg of Lex. I was out running errands when...I don't know how to describe it...things didn't look familiar. I've lived in this city my entire life, but I didn't quite recognize it this afternoon. It took me a VERY long time to count out the right amount of money for the cashier at the store, I finally had to ask someone next to me if I'd counted it out right. It was a little bit like those feelings of unreality I sometimes get during a panic attack. Has this happened to anyone else, or can you offer some advice? I'm terrified and it feels like I'm loosing my mind.
