My doctor gave me some Xanex to use but I'm so pill scared after this, I have been too scared to take it.
maybe I'll try it tonight and see if it helps.
I definitely DO NOT want to go down the route of antipsychotics unless 100% necessary.
My pdoc ruled out bipolar but did say that sometimes SSRI"s will trigger "manic like behavior" but it's drug induced so it's not the same as a bipolar diagnosis per se.
I'll give this stuff another week to flush my system (I'm drinking lots of water and eating healthy, exercising) so maybe after it's out, I will be back to normal.
The hallucinations have been very brief (only twice) and I immediately began to realize they weren't real. So it's not that I'm really scared- it's like I can recognize they aren't 'real' and then they disappear.
if I start seeing little green men, I might go ahead with the psych drugs.
Thanks for the input.
