Thank you so much everyone for the kind and insightful replies to this. I REALLY appreciate it. To answer some of the questions, yes my pdoc has been in the process of tapering me off Prozac, and I completely agree that it's kind of bad timing for it. However I will be starting on a new medication soon. Taking vitamins isn't something I considered, but that's actually a brilliant idea. Especially with the lack of vitamin D we're going to be getting now (I should just move somewhere warm and tropical haha)

At the moment I am feeling OK, but without a doubt, I am going to go to the ER if I feel this bad ever again. The combination of being in the "crash" AND being tapered off of my antidepressant...oh man.

I guess when you're in that state though, you're just not thinking as clearly. Like you don't FEEL like you need to go, because you don't want to make a big deal out of it, even though you clearly need help RIGHT NOW because you're a danger to yourself. So. Mark my words, guys, I will definitely take that step if/when it ever gets that bad again.

In the meantime, I think that taking up your suggestions and keeping busy and making sure I am eating well/hydrated is probably the best thing I can do, and I am hoping to meet with my psychiatrist asap. I'll give him a call tomorrow and see what he thinks about everything.

Thank you so much for the love and kind thoughts, everyone. You're all amazing.
