Im really scared...like terrified. What fresh hell is this? I feel like Im standing on a train track and I see a train coming but Im to frozen to jump off the track.
Ive been up and down and all around but Ive never been frozen before. WTF? I kind of feel like Im up on the ceiling somewhere watching myself go through the motions. Eat, sleep, read. Ok well not eat. I cant eat. I feel like Im going to choke.

I had a dentist appointment this morning and I was almost all the to my Pdoc before I realized I was going to the wrong place. I managed to make it to the dentist office on time and cried while I was there. They understand me and pumped me full of happy gas so I was able to relax and even laugh a little.
Went to the Pdoc just now and she wants me to go back in Wellbutrin and come back in 2 weeks. If that doesnt work maybe up the Seroquel for a while. Im on a very small dose. Bleh! I hate Meds but I hate feeling crap even more.

Oh! I am so sorry you are going through this!
 Does going to the dentist trigger you? This sounds like some of what I go through when my PTSD is triggered by the dentist. I feel dissociated and dazed. I watch myself go through the motions at the dentist. A part of me has escaped the situation at hand. It's the only way I can stay in the chair! And feeling "frozen"' can be a response to trauma/PTSD, as well. I guess I should ask my dentist for laughing gas. I heard a woman laughing and laughing, non-stop, at my last appointment. I was not laughing! I have to go back in 2 days.  Nobody understands how terrible it is for me at the dentist's office. Horrible. But I put on a happy face.Wellbutrin? For this type of an experience/reaction? Interesting. (I usually need some calming down, some decrease in heightened sensory symptoms, etc.) I hope you feel better soon.   WC

That is odd-is this Wellbutrin withdrawal? Is that why the restart?
I hope this resolved quickly

No its not Wellbutrin withdrawal. I figured out what happened. I freaked out so bad that didnt realize that I had disassociated and forgot my husband was at the hospital. I didnt even know he wasnt in the house. His mother is in bad shape, her kidneys are failing. It doesnt look like shes going to make it.

The dentist office was ok, that wasnt really the problem. Its really the stress about my mother in law that was freaking me out. I just didnt realized it at the time. They know Im terrified of doctors and dentists and are always very gentle and accommodating. They asked me if I needed time to calm down and if I needed a warm blanket, etc. It also helps that the dentist and my husband have been friends since high school. Im very fortunate in the dentist department.

Good point, theKow.
The injections have epinephrine in them and can cause heightened anxiety, panic, etc. I have a strong reaction to it. WC

I've had my dentist put lidocaine on my gums to numb them out. Still hurts like hell.
I guess the cure is more prevention--but because of my gums they poke harder than usual. |

Shaz, I didn't mean to falsely attribute your status to the dentist. I had gotten carried away with my own dental reactions. My apologies.
About your MIL, I am so very sorry. WC

You know the flight or fright response most people get when very anxious? Apparently theres a third response - freeze.
Thats what I do. I freeze.

I commend you for reaching out. It suggests you feel deserving of something better than this.
Someone mentioned Mindfullness - which my understanding is about 'being in the moment'. My pdoc would say in response to my feeling I was watching from the ceiling to imagine myself crawling down and literally grounding myself. Just a thought. It will take some time for the medication situation to iron itself out. My wishes are that you come out a new and happy you. |
