Update on 20 day no ap challenge

So its been 5\20 days with no ap…this challenge isn’t a real challenge my last ap was causing major health issues and my doc has refused to prescribe me any new ap until my next appointment on the 17th…

Anyway…
withdraws are terrible from prolixin…shaky loss of balance irritability cold sweats ect…
Hallucinations are at an all time high both visual and audible…
Delusions and paranoia are returning…
Anxiety is high and rising
My d.I.d symptoms are creeping back I feel on the verge of blacking out often…
And I’m starting to lose hope…I feel on the verge of a break down constantly…I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold this ■■■■ storm back very much longer…let alone the remaining 15 days until I can get treated again…

I hope everyone else is doing ok …

Hang in there man you can do it. But just in case if you experience anything really bad like heart problems or something make sure you go to a hospital. If you have a crazy delusion ask the people around you for a reality check, also you can check in on this forum. Be brave.

Heart problems was what required the abrupt stop of my last med…no symptom so far is beyond my ability to cope…yet…but I can feel myself slipping back down the rabbit hole I clawed tooth and nail to escape…I wish the local mental health facility was a little more on their game…

I did actually 5 times now…and now its the weekend so I’m kinda s.o.l. till Monday on trying to get new meds…

aw man, good luck flame. I hope things get better for you. I agree with Minnii, call your pdoc and tell him you can’t wait 15 more days med free.

Thanks for the support and ideas…I plan on giving my doctors office hell come Monday…along as I don’t lose my ■■■■ before then…

@flameoftherhine What are your options if symptoms worsen over the 3-day weekend? Does the mental health facility or your pdoc have an after hour phone number you can call? Or is the ER your primary option?

I probably won’t be very active on the forums next couple weeks…don’t feel very sociable and having more problems understanding and reading much more than a couple lines of text…I’m thinking of you all and hope everybody’s doing well I wish you all good luck on the path…

The doc has no after hours line…and er would be my last resort…for a few reasons…they wouldn’t even offer me anxiety meds during my visit…and I would be stuck there alone with no guests or any type of meds until Tues when I could be evaluated…so the er would probably make this whole adventure worse…and will be avoided unless the police have to escort me due to me becoming a danger…

Honestly, I think it’s best to go to the ER before becoming a danger to yourself or others.

Ah ive only been a danger once while super sz…and it was only to my left eyeball…I’m not a violent person naturally and have no worries about suicide attempts or anything like that…but I will go to the er before slipping that far no worries…

Alright… That’s what I’m worried about. Your pdoc did a stupid thing, not giving you another ap. I’m really angry.

Oh @flameoftherhine I’m really sorry this is happening to you. I know you tried contacting your pdoc repeatedly last week.

I think you should call your mom just in case you need her to come out to help, and also so she knows what’s going on.

Monday’s a holiday so your pdoc’s office will likely be closed until Tuesday.

I understand your reluctance to go to the ER, but keep that option in your back pocket and go if you need to. You don’t want to wait until things are to the point where you could be a danger to yourself or others, or to the point where you’re no longer able to recognize when you need help.

You hit the pink elephant right on the nose…I have trouble communicating how bad I am on meds…Im very worried about hitting the point where I lose the ability to tell if I even need help…

Go the the ER, flame, a couple of days there won’t do you any harm.

is there anyone you can be with right now? are you on your own? can someone keep an eye on you like family or something?

Will your gf be able to help assess that for you if it comes down to that?
