Super scared of myself right now


I ran out one of my drugs the other day and it was ok until yesterday and I can tell its not ok anymore. I mean I can be ok but I can feel it get out of control but there isn't anything I can do to make it be ok. Ever feel yourself get really wound up like your going to explode and you can feel everything at once but nothing too. I called to fill it in time but the dumb insurance won't. I called my doc but they just called the pharmacy. I'm getting real bad headaches too. It's hard to think. Lucky it Monday. I get to blame it on a bad day at work. I'm really scared though. I can't think straight. I hope they call me soon. I didn't think it was going to effect me this bad. I stopped the others ones before when I couldn't fill them in time, just not these ones. I don't think I like them. I think I will ask to get off them. Anything that makes a person feel like this when you stop taking it can't be good. argggh...

Alicia,

I'm so sorry you are going through this. Drug withdrawal is so hard. I'm sorry the insurance company is so difficult. I'm super sorry you didn't have enough of the med left to taper off slowly or to tide you over until your insurance comes through.

Which drug do you not have right now? In other words, what drug are you withdrawing from right now?

Hang in there. It will get better. <<<hugs>>>

Can you see if the doctor has any samples on hand?

Aicila, if you do not have your meds in hand by tomorrow, call your prescribing doctor and see if they have any free samples of the drug you need. You might get lucky. I've done this before. Good luck. I hope you feel better soon!

Aloha, sorry to hear you are going thru this but you might check and see if the pharmacist can sell you a few till you can get this straightened out...and yes most docs have samples. Call them and have someone pick them up for you ...DO NOT DRIVE yourself in this state of flux! Note to self, I always 'hide a few' from myself since I have been known to forget. It helps to have a good pharmacist, and not just a mail order pharmacy

I did call the doc for sample pack and they just called the pharmacy but think maybe I didn't let them know how much I need it right. I will call again today and I don't know how much it costs but maybe I can call my PCM for some or something. Last night was scaryer. I wouldn't wish that on that on anyone.

Yay! Got a phone call from them. Get to go pick them up. I just want to sleep right now. I'm freezing and I can't tell you how bad I want to just cry. I have an appointment on the 20th and I am deffinately getting some extras of these ones when I go. Even the other ones of the drugs I ran out of weren't this bad. Why do they give us this crap?

I can tell it has had something to do with the past two days - getting my bag "stolen" was all part of some scam b***s*** the f(*(ing cowards aren't telling me about -
men yesterday - I could smell them - the two today at K's sitting next to me - why don't the f****cowards tell me what the f***has been going on?
nothing has been the same
because I keep to myself makes you think I'm dumb?
introspection is salvation
if it doesn't resolve soon I'll make sure it will
what the f*** did they do to me
