Babygurl: help

[Babygurl]

It started with simple memory problems... Then for insurance reasons i had to follow steps.. I went to a mental evaluation and all the sudden i was bipolor mood disorder sleep deprived and couple other things and gave me 20 different meds to take

 

... Mind you im 43 and never had a mental issue before so after dr convinced me these meds would help my memory issues i took them they switch them here n there then high doses of lithium vyvanse and lamectol and ambian

 

... I felt wosre is a understatement... They werent listening just changing. Meds so not knowing i cold turkey stopped them all

 

... Its been 3 weeks and im spooking out cant think havent ate in 2 weeks lost 10 lbs all i do is ball up and cry uncontrollably negative bad thoughts at all times... I have a great life no reason to feel this way.. And the dr just wants to put me on more meds that i dont need

 

..... Please someone tell me im gonna be ok im scared to death and i have kids and a husband thet need me.. I dont know wut to do... But i dont want no meds

I am able to answer this first, as the sun is well up here in Europe.

 

Please, don't worry, mum.  I think you are more than likely to recover.  You have made the biggest mistake possible in withdrawing cold turkey.

The extremely experienced mods on here will point you in the right direction very soon and you will be able to start your mission to recover.

 

Best wishes.
