I've been having incidences of almost psychadelic (not hallucinatory just trippy in feeling)feeling that I'm losing control/going crazy and nonsensical thinking lately.
I've always had night terrors that were very similar but abate within a few minutes after waking. Lately this feeling of being extinguished/slipping out of my body/going insane will continue for an hour or more after I wake up and as soon as I drift back into sleep it recurs immediately, along with an electric feeling on the left side of my brain and body.
Lately this feeling has intruded into waking hours. I don't know how to quantify this feeling that "I'm losing control/my mind/reality" and "his face looks funny I almost don't understand it." But it seems to respond pretty quickly to even low doses of klonopin.
I'm somewhere on the spectrum of BPII/PTSD/Borderline with notable depressive and anxiety symptoms. I stopped Celexa in feb/March after 15 years. I'm still on Lamictal 150mgs and klonopin .5mgs.
I might just go to the emergency room the next time it happens rather than wait weeks for another doctor to shrug their shoulders at me.
please please PLEASE tell me this is a panic attack and not some kind of psychosis. I'm 44 and I don't think I've really ever had either yet.
