"...(I was) feeling like I was going to come out of my skin or kill myself."
Please I sure hope you can help me because I've never before felt like there was no one to help. I'm so confused all the time I feel as If I'm living outside my body and observing myself. I can no longer drive. It basic terms:
I started Paxil CR for about 10 days where I was then put on Zoloft for 14 days at 25mgs then increasing to 50mgs over the next three weeks before I finally discontinued use abruptly due to severe panic attacks, horrible anxiety all day long, headaches, dizzy, confusion, nothing was making sense to me anymore. After going off the drug I went into the pits of hell, all the previous symptoms increased but now included leg shakiness lips going numb, body temp changes severe depersonalization, now unable to drive or really function. I lived away from home so after five days of crying and feeling like I was going to come out of my skin or kill myself, my parents came and brought me home. I lost everything, including my new job and friends, hell my whole life because I cant function. Anyways after three weeks of pure hell which some of the symptoms were getting better except for the dizziness and depersonalization the doctor put me on Klonopin which sent me right back where I started mood swings crying hopelessness, agitated. I had heard about taking Prozac to stop withdrawals so I started taking it for six days. I kept going further downhill. Finally I went to the doctor yesterday that told me to stop taking everything cold turkey because I'm actually having the opposite reaction to what the drugs are suppose to help with.
My big question is: WILL THIS DEPERSONALIZATION SUBSIDE? WILL I GET MY MIND AND MY LIFE BACK. I'm only 25, female. I have so much to live for and yet feel like I just want to end it because of my frame of mind. Is the doctor right in taking my off cold turkey? PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP, I"M VERY ALONE RIGHT NOW! Thanks
