Anxiety - Psychosis - Intrusive thoughts what is it?

[[Pa...]]

For the past 2 weeks I have had a loud laugh in my head or a scream every now and then that lasts for a few minutes and then goes away again. It's only extreme when I'm under a lot of stress, and it first appeared after I went back to work for the first week. I know it's not real, just what is it?

Hi!

Audible hallucinations can be a wd symptom. Are you tapering or have stopped?

I think stress and anxiety can push the brain to do this.

Thx for your quick response, that was my first thought what i read but i was not sure. I am 3 months off now. It started in week 10 when i was back to work.

Ok.. as long the voices are not telling you to do things and you believe in them it's not a psychosis. But I can imagine very frightening. 

It's not a common symptom but it seems to happen.

And laughs omg! Like a horror movie!

My heart goes out to you.

what i read that audible hallucinations are normal in wd. But ya its scary sometimes, but the Remeron keeps it at bay mostly.

Its so crazy what our brains doing in withdrawal. I try to get myself busy and not think about to much. I Never had Problems like this before so it should be withdrawal.

In General my stress System is so hyperactive

Gosh yes, I    have had some weird like conversations going on sometimes in the morning if I    try to go back to sleep...very scary.  I    had it a several times that I    can recall.  The most recent for me was when I    finally got a scale and actually measured out the proper dose.  But have not had it since that I    can recall.

How long does it take for you to stop?

What u mean with the scale and the proper dose?

I    am weighing my tablets to dose exactly opposed to trying to use a pill splitter alone and guess.  The weight of the portion of the pill is very important for me...I    am not doing anything tapering with liquid, just a dry cut method for now.

I    measure the full weight of the tablet and determine the mg dose I    need, then do the math.

It seems to be working alright, those symptoms came and went rather quickly but were very frightening.  I    am now suffering from a bit of paranoid thoughts and fear, but I    think this is just from tapering down.  No matter how little I    taper I    am symptomatic.  The last time I    went down I    only had a bad day or two...this time it seems to be hitting me pretty harshly in comparison.  It is so unpredictable for me.  I    wish I    was off this poison and could think more clearly again.  

I    am going to hold where I    am at now for a while until I    feel better.

So to answer your first question I    have not discontinued the medication yet, I    am still in a taper.  I    am currently taking about 10.2mg daily of valium.  It is very difficult to decrease.  I    am starting to feel defeated and hopeless.

 

Love,

Fierce

Ok i understand, that is the reason i take remeron. My CNS is so hyperactive 24/7 its horrible. Remeron calms me down to the Point i can feel normal for a couple hours.

I know its a tough fight but we can heal. Have you ever think about to go on a Antidepressant? In my Experience its a way easier to come of AD then Benzos, still not easy but compared to Benzos a cakewalk. I mean everyone its different but maybe a Option to make it a little more doable for you.

stay strong and message me whenever you need some positive vibes 😃
