Yeah, it took a lot of handwringing, but I stopped it. Today, while I'm still in pretty bad shape, it's nothing like what the last week and a half were like. I don't know what to do now, lots of big life changing decisions to make, but at least I'm not so out of control while trying to make them.
Thank you so much for your support through all this. This is the second most frightening reaction I've ever had to a medication. The first most frightening landed me in the physical hospital for almost a week, and took more than a year to recover from, so it's mild compared to that one! Still, it's one of those things: I always feel as if I failed the medication, not the other way around. And the after effects of this are pretty bad for me, too. I'm still feeling pretty close to suicide, but at least I'm feeling more in control of my actions, if not my emotions.
My solution, which I don't like, is that I'm popping xanax today, and probably will tomorrow, too, until I can get somewhere near an even keel.
