   I can really feel your frustration (((justfloating))) - I agree with Rohag that your creativity really does come through in your writing! It's unfortunate that you have to wait a while before you can see your pdoc or even your therapist. In the meantime, try to cut out anything in your diet that can magnify your symptoms (caffeine, sugar, known allergens, etc.). Also, even though you have been on your meds for a year, you can develop sensitivities and begin experiencing side effects at any time - so it may be more than just an adjustment in dosage that is needed. You should have that information on your prescription receipts - look at the contraindications, as well, since some medications can interact badly even with "natural" substances (vitamins, pain meds, etc.).
If your symptoms continue at this intensity and especially if they escalate, do not hesitate to contact your pdoc or even go to the ER since you could be suffering side-effects or even having an allergic reaction (not all allergic reactions present with hives - some present with neurological symptoms). This is not something to mess around with, so keep an eye on yourself and stay safe! Please let us know how you are doing.
