Panic,
I read and read about everyone having terrible withdrawals or reactions to drugs and remember back to MY days of total panic and being so anxiety-ridden and freaked out that I didn't like to be left alone with my three young children for fear I would hurt them.
Many people have definately dropped the ball for you and I hope by now (2/17/03) you have gotten some REAL help. It sounds to me like you might need to spend a week or two in the psych ward to so that you are constantly watched and they can tinker with some med therapy to try to get you functional again. Is this a possiblity? You would also get alot of therapy there, too, and hopefully can get 'grounded' again.
Please do not give up...there IS someone or some facility out there who can help you. Call every number in the book, call every crisis hotline, tell every person who will listen to you. I wish we were closer so that I could take you by the hand and help you out. I have BEEN there and KNOW how hopeless it feels. If anyone would have told me that I would EVER feel normal again (at the time of my crisis/living in crisis) I would have been hard-pressed to believe them, but I DO feel normal (most of the time) and now I know enough to know exactly what is going on with me and it's not quite so scary when things are a bit skewered.
Let us know how you are, even if you can only manage a line or two...
Mary
