Hi Scott,
First, thanks for replying. Umm, some of my thoughts are it is still the medication b/c I have never experienced these feelings even when I was feeling bad. I always had anxiety and some depression but not to the point of craziness like I do now. Also, I know alot about these drugs and how it can take months and years to fully get back to normal. In the PDR book, physicians are told not to even diagnose mental illness until one has been off the benzos for a full year and the list goes on.I am doing so much better without these drugs but yet I have some setbacks which just throw me for a loop. I am in therapy now which is helping and staying away from sugars and bad foods which I am so sensitive to b/c of the drugs I was on. I worry about Postpartum but all I can do is wait. So far, my pregnancy has been good with the exception of some outbursts of tears and anxiety and worries but I think that is every mom. These doctor's almost killed me and I think I am suffering from post tramatic stress disorder.
These are my thoughts. I am so afraid to take any medication incase it ramps my w/d symptoms. Um, if I was to use pain killers/anesthesia which would be the best for the least side effects? I am just very angry at what these drugs did to my life.
Thanks for listening,
JACJ
