@Desoxyn. Iwas curious what you thought of my delema. I was taken off lorazapam by my psych nurse using the ashen model. I was on 2 mgs of lorazapam and she switched me to 20 mgs of diazapan. I started having 4-5 hour long panic attacks. So I switched to a new Dr bc she kept wanting to take me off more things after she promised she wouldn't take me off any other meds. Those 4-5 long panic attacks lasted for 9 months.

The new Dr I saw was willing to help me and started putting me on sedating meds but no benzos. He left the agency. I started having having really bad insomnia and ended up in a mixed episode. I was taking 30 mgs of Zyprexa and still couldn't sleep. Long story short the new psych nurse I saw wouldn't help me and I ended up in the hospital. I didn't want benzos, I wanted to find out why I had those horrible panic attacks. They put me at involuntary hold bc I was acting out. The place they hold people in the hospital is horrible. The guy in the room next to was spreading feces on the wall!

Anyway I had a great psychiatrist and was released 10 days later. Now I'm on more meds than the psychiatrist in the hospital put me on and I'm a mess with anxiety. I know the coping skills for it but it doesn't help. Do you think my gabba receptors are fried. I really need to come off some of these meds. They're really effecting my cognition. What is wrong with me regarding the meds?
