Well I was there for four hours, I got taken back really quickly but then spent 3 hours waiting around for the damn counselor to come in and see me. This entire time I was basically having a panic attack and pacing around inside the tiny room they put me in... The counselor came in and talked to me (while I continued to pace - I guess it didn't bother her so much), deemed I wasn't a danger to myself or others and called my current pdoc to figure out medication. They sent me home with a script to klonopin. Unfortunately for me, as I learned after taking a klonopin, I happen to be part of the 5% of people that benzos make crazier rather than actually sedate you. I got super angry and agitated and didn't sleep very much. I started to have auditory hallucinations too... I white-knuckled my way through the night and called my pdoc this morning who made an emergency appointment with me for this afternoon to adjust meds again to hopefully find something that will help me calm down and sleep. We've created more of a plan, hoping the new medication combo will work tonight.
It's a work in progress. I just really hope I can sleep more...if I sleep more I know I will feel better. Thanks for supportive messages, I needed to read those.
