I am sorry to hear it did not go well that you needed to leave; I do hope you are doing ok.

Unfortunately, there is no way of telling how you body will react as it depends on how long you were on them, the half life of the medication (how it metabolizes and takes to be eliminated from the body), and your chemistry. Depending on the medications, it can cause mild to moderate or severe life altering/threatening symptoms, and the illness to return quickly. Please be careful to notice any changes and seek help.

I do hope you find the help you want and please take good care meanwhile. Hang in there!

You will soon no if withdrawl is going to happen. If you left the hospital with no meds and should be on them, then you will soon be in trouble . Only you no the reason you left the hospital without meds you didn't say, but it seems a bad move.

I would be worried about it too! How long before you pick up a script? A couple of days should be ok...in my experience!
