rottiegirl25 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hi im new here and i am really scared about my meds i have missed a couple appointments with my PDoc because i have been sick A LOT over the last two months had an appointment yesterday but i had to cancel because i was throwing up and couldn't stand without falling over. My mom called to cancel and to see if the PDoc would call in refills for me mind you this would be the first time for call in meds. currently take saphris,lamictal, clonazepam,paxil and lunesta. I have BiPolar 2 borderline personality disorder depression, anxiety & panic attacks night terrors, PTSD. I have 1 dose left of lamictal, three doses of saphris and no clonazepam i do have some sleeping pills and paxil I am scared they can't get me into until next week. I don't know what to do what are the danger's of going off all of these meds at the same time without being weaned off i am so dedicated to my meds i know i need them or i will end up in the hospital or worse. i know about the mental issues going off but is there anything my family should watch for other then me going off of the deep end.i went off of meds before when i was young and i guess i was pretty bad. i haven't been off of meds in over 10 years! i know i feel a difference if i forget any of them. i just don't know what to do. other then have my family and myself be hypervigalent and we need to know what all to possibly watch for. and to top off things our dog of 11 years is really sick and its got me scared i know she is dying probably and we have lost her mother and sister and then i lost my ESA he was a rottie i lost him to cancer. I am very bonded with our dogs and though we have two my new ESA and my mom has one besides our old dog. it is adding a lot of anxiety i already am afraid every morning im going to find her dead i dream about it even; and now going off of meds i am afraid we don't have a car so even if there is an opening i need time to get a ride at least 24 hours for my medical transport. i don't know what im going to do :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimako Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 My pharmacy will give me certain amount of pills, depending on what they are, to tide me over until my prescription comes thru. But never more than 3 days worth. I don't know about the saphris but I'd definitely knock myself out to not skip lamictal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to scare you but it is dangerous to just stop Benzos like Clonazepam. You could have seizures. if you start to feel really ill and shaky i would go to an ER. They will give you enough clonazepam to get you to your next vists with your Pdoc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo 'n dye Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hi im new here and i am really scared about my meds i have missed a couple appointments with my PDoc because i have been sick A LOT over the last two months had an appointment yesterday but i had to cancel because i was throwing up and couldn't stand without falling over That sounds dangerous. Aside from being nearly out of your routine meds, these symptoms, especially the falling over, need to be evaluated by a physician. Call you primary care provider for an urgent evaluation appointment and in turn have the call your pdoc. In my community there are a couple of volunteer groups that will provide transportation to and from doctors visits, unless you are incapacitated. And both the sheriffs office and the city police will, under some circumstance, transport to doctor's offices. Or call a cab or if all else fails call for an ambulance. Falling over needs to be checked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I just want to say I agree with all of above posters. It sounds like you are in (or will be in) a dangerous situation and need to get some sort of help, even if it means taking an ambulance to the ER if you are to sick to go to the DRs office. And if you are in the ER you could also tell them about running out of meds. So of you can't get to a DR then I'd go to the ER by ambulance if I was that sick.
