Got paranoid last night

My professor called me and said my paper wasnt going to pass unless i fixed it. It wasnt weitten in the correct format. I guess i didnt realize how serious of an assignment it was. But after he called i got paranoid that i was going to fail the class and have to drop out of courses for good. I got a 6000 dollar loan and really need to stick with school so i can go for my masters degree.

I eventually started thinking my parents called the cops, and that i needed to go to the hospital. I couldnt breath and kept seeing this green light. I couldnt close my eyes and i kept rolling around in bed.

Im thinking of asking my doctor for a sedating AP… does anyone take one and have a recommendation for a PRN? I cant do benzos since i have an addiction problem.

In fact. Taking my buspar is kind of what gave me paranoia. Sometimes it chills me put too much that i only think of getting paranoid.

I also take hydroxyzine. It helps too.

Yeah i have that too. It doesnt really do anything for me. My anxiety is really bad. It takes 6 hydroxyzine to provide 30 mins of relief.

If you’re looking for a sedating AP then Seroquel is the best I’ve tried. Knocks me out though. They give me 25s of Seroquel PRN.

Seroquel didnt do a lot for my voices definitely put me to sleep. The doctor i was seeing kept raising the dose to the point that i couldnt swallow. Id bet its good combined with another AP?

I take it with Geodon. It makes me hallucinate and hear voices more than usual. I just fall asleep so quickly on it that it’s not a problem.

Have you ever tried hydroxyzine? Or something over the counter like benadryl? To a lot it doesn’t help, but to me, it makes me feel less tense.

Benadryl makes me psychotic but Hydroxyzine doesn’t. The ER doctor said it was an allergic reaction but I’d be careful with it.

I hope everything turns out well for you. You seem like a very serious and studious student, don’t give up. Maybe have someone like a tutor from your school proof read your papers. When you feel l like you are going to get paranoid maybe do something that relaxes you or you enjoy doing like I like having a soothing cup of tea or talk to a friend.

Yes. I take hydroxyzine. It doesnt do anything for me.
