Has the sundial ideation and hallucinations stopped?

I don't think she can. She works late hours and sleeps the rest of the day and then night (she has narcolepsy) I'll try to get her to go tomorrow.

Ok if you're having psychosis and SI you really should go to the hospital. You don't need to be talked down, you need help. Please call an ambulance if you need!
Thanks for this!

I will if it comes down to it. I don't want to seem dramatic; it's not like I need to be taken out on a stretcher or anything. It's manageable for now. Just trying to make it to Monday when my T appointment is. She's recommended hospitalization before but I declined then. If I'm bad off I'll accept. I've written everything down in a notebook.

out of valium?? That could get dangerous, especially if its been a moderat-to-high dosage, daily thing for you.

Your psychiatrist sounds kinda slack. A lot of them are ((to be fair to him)). How long do you need to wait to get your pills? The Valium situation needs to be addressed promptly...benzodiazepine-withdrawal seizures are no joke, trust me.

Sorry this is happening. Hope things work out for you.

This is a bad situation! Can you call your pdocs office and tell them you just need a refill? I hope you find a solution. Keep posting on here and keep us updated. Would love to hear how it goes Monday.

I take 10mg 3 times a day.

The reason I'm running out of meds is because my pdoc appointment keeps getting pushed back due to my mom's work schedule.

I have to wait until Thursday for my pdoc, unless I go to the hospital.

And thank you <3

We've called but he's not in. He's only there so many days and at certain times. I'll definitely post on Monday.

Seizures can happen when you stop taking Valium. Be safe

Wait! Your mom pushed back your pdoc appointment from monday to thursday? Does she realize you are out of 2 meds? This is a really bad situation and will reach ambulance level if you dont get in ASAP to your pdoc for your scripts. Your body has probably become dependant on valium and the withdrawl is bound to exacerbate your situation. Not to mention you need an adjustment in meds for hallucinations and paranoia. Please re-interate how important it is for you to see pdoc THURSDAY if that is what it is scheduled for now to your mom.

Oh no. My T app is Monday. She might recommend hospitalization. We had to push my pdoc app from last week to this Thursday. It's because of her work schedule unfortunately. She knows I'm out of 2 meds and has been trying to do something about it.

I think hospital might be in your best interest. It will get things back on track quicker. Hard for pdoc to stay on top of things if appointments are consistently pushed back. 1 week is a lot if you're running out of meds and hallucinations and paranoia are more regular. I understand work but this is serious.

The valium is a big issue. Seizures are a real risk. So is seriously increased anxiety/panic attacks, insomnia (increased further by the lack of Seroquel), you can get physically sick (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irregular heartbeat, depression and a list of other things.

You really need to do whatever it takes to get a refill of this before things get ugly. Do a search for "cold turkey withdrawal valium" to see for yourself.

Please be safe.

I probably will on Monday unless for some reason my T doesn't feel I need it.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add the part about psychosis from coming off valium cold turkey......My memory is lacking today. But it's important.

We're trying desperately to get ahold of someone for refills. Will all these side effects happen within a few days? I'm just trying to make it to Thursday.

Push for it yourself! What happens if mom pushes back pdoc appointment again? More meds run out? The longer this goes on the worse it is gonna get. Maybe going in to hospital will show family how serious your situation and the need for timely appointments really are.

Its likely you'll notice side effects before Thursday...hard to tell which ones though.

Yes. Withdrawal can start with just one missed dose. I get mild symptoms if I miss just one dose of Klonopin and my body isn't all that dependent on it (according to my pdoc) because I only take it at night so my body is used to the levels going up and down). I don't think waiting for Thursday is an option that is safe or healthy.

Delusions Daily is right, no way to predict what will happen but it's also not good to wait and see because if some of the heavier things happen that's just not good.

Yea... I'd go to the hospital and I'd go today. Or can you go to an urgent care?? Try that first maybe? This is a serious issue and I hope you'll be ok!

My mom is off Thursday so thankfully we won't miss this one. If my T doesn't mention the hospital I will. It's hard to make and keep appointments because of my mom's hectic work schedule.
