B2c,
You wrote,[...pills..vodka...the urge...]
What I see here is that you could be in a critical stage where sudden death could happen. This is based on what is posted as to that you are combining chemicals that go to your central nervous system and could cause death. In particular, but not limited to, the vodka combined with a BZD such as clonazapam, if you are taking such.
> There is a large body of stats that show that the chemicals in question, such as what is called an SSRI, could induce a mind-altered state to compel the one taking the drug to want to kill themselves and/or others. The vodka could go along with that and help the urge to do so even more.
WHAT TO DO:
1. Stop drinking the vodka
2. Find someone to be with you at all times during this period that is aware of what's going on.
3. Make an emergency appt with the prescribing doctor.
4. Do not take more than prescribed of the psychotropic drugs prescribed to you.
5. If you are taking a BZD, note that there is an addiction potential, so do not stop that suddenly as there is a withdrawal potential.
6. Get in control to some degree in order to plan for healing. This could mean to see a specialists in the area of addiction/withdrawal.
7. othere aspects that I would like to post to you but I am not permitted to post here or tell you where you could find that information. I am working on finding a way to get you the information.
Lou
