When do you decide to go to the hospital?

Posted by socialdeviantjeff on January 23, 2004, at 22:47:11

I know this has been done before but I am having a hard time. I stopped Effexor and Tegretol (tapering down both).

I'm still on Perphenazine and starting Lamictal.

I've been feeling like crap. I stopped the meds because of side effects. Now I have side effects and withdrawals. Smoking more than twice as mich as usual. I get floored about the simplest smallest things. My mood changes on a dime. crying more. anxiety coming back. Delusions and hallucenations worsening. Side effect-wise, I'm too tired to do anything at all. loads of cognitive and memory problems.

I feel like I'm constantly on the verge of doing something incredibly stupid, either to me, someone else, or something else. When these impulses come up, they are getting harder to fight, little by little. I can still supress the urges but it's tough. Outwardly, I do't show much (never have) but inside my head is like a big noisy carnival.

Sooo.. I'm afraid of calling my pdoc. I don't think he'll listen. My case is very complicated from bizarre drug reactions anyway. Just not sure what to do. At what point would it be good to consider admitting myself? For anyone who has been hospitalized, what was going on when you went in?

I'm not asking directly what do do, but I badly need some perspective. TIA
