> i am off of all my meds until tomorrow, and only then if the pregnancy test is not positive. i have severe anxiety (had a panic attack Thurs night). I heard a story about a radio annoucer who hallucinated and went psychotic when he didn't sleep for a week. i am wondering if it is a true story. he had permant terrible changes in his personality after that. maybe it is an urban myth, maybe not.

> i have been in outpatient therapy for two days now and love it. but i am not thinking very clearly right now. it is hard to get the most out of it. i can't wait to get back to my meds if i am not pregnant. i take the test tomorrow. if i am i have to have an indepth discusion w/ the pdoc overseeing my outpatient therapy on Monday. because i have to be on something, i think. i really can't take this right now.
