Thinking I may have to go somewhere

Sorry for the constant stream of negativity but this is so unreal. I really think I'm going to have to go somewhere soon...I feel horrendous...I have a burning tongue that has now turned into a sore throat...not even sure if this is w/d related or not...then my brain is so off..have burning all the time....never know if foods I'm eating is making this all worse...have no clue how to cope with it all...just so tired of fighting the mental agony and agitation...I am worn out....When I am able to drive and I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, I see the pain and absolute torture I've been through...I see the trauma this has created...just been to hell and haven't returned...

I have a sore throat too! And the crazy tongue feelings. This is fairly common, from what I've read here. I've gotten a sore throat in the past when coming off also.

 

Are you eating well & staying hydrated? Are you sleeping?

 

I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time.

Thank you; it's the only relief I get....I think what I'm experiencing during the day is akathisia...

Hi!  I am so sorry you are in such a bad way right now.  :(  I can tell from your numerous posts the last couple of weeks that you are very upset and concerned with your health. 

 

I think it may help if you can acknowledge to yourself these few things right now:

1.  You've been sent to hell with the prescribed meds over the last year BUT you are doing something about it now!

2.  You are going through withdrawal (aches, pains, neuro, agitation, etc.) like 99% of us do and it is NOT pleasant.

3.  You are sleeping - good thing.

 

I understand the feeling of having to go "somewhere".  I felt that many years ago when I thought I needed in-patient psych.  Luckily my husband was really there for me and I didn't go (thank god).  Do you have someone who is with you to really BE with you?  Just from my experience being alone was beyond the pits.  Please keep us posted.  We are pulling for you.

Thank you jeanermouse...I think I'm suffering the akathisia which is the internal agitation..not the physical type but it's just getting me so down then I've added the burning tongue...just unrelenting. I guess I hastily post here not thinking how negative or desperate I sound...not coping well at all. I have my 79 year old mother to help but it's just getting so bad...thanks again.

Thanks Billy...I get about 7-8 hours of sleep a night; no issues with it-not sure why though it's changed from the beginning when I used to get 9 to 10....I've taken benadryl in the past to help with sleep when I did have a slight issue. My main issue is agitation in my brain and crying hysterically-wanting to jump from my skin-thinking it's internal akathisia...and now, have burning tongue/mouth to add to it...hoping you get relief soon

I'm having this too. It's unbearable. I feel your pain. It is horrible. :(

Thank you...I'm sorry; I know and it's crazy that there's nothing to do about it....I feel if I weren't with my mother, I would certainly be committed to the psych hospital and then given more meds, never to return to a normal state of mind...

I'm right there with you guys! Been in bed all weekend, only getting up to eat, but don't WANT to eat at ALL. I feel like I don't have enough saliva. Very poor vision, heavy limbs, muscles are burning & twitching, now have restless legs, can't get comfortable, etc, etc...

 

Not sure how much more of this my poor body/mind can take. (I'm 48...)

 

It almost feels like I've been literally poisoned.

 

Hang in there, everybody, we can do this!!!

I'm sorry twinkle...Me too; I feel poison on my tongue daily. I have endured this horror for a year on the meds and now off...the internal akathisia the whole time..crying and agonzing every minute of the day. I truly wonder how the brain ever can get back to a right state after this....

Unfortunately, I don't think there is anywhere we can go.  If you go to the ER they will only want to give you more benzos to calm you down.  I would be interested to know if you find a place, I'll join you!

I think it's just that need in me to want this all to stop; I truly wish there was a utopia or place to go for respite, support, understanding, symptom relief-an oasis of healing... :o
