Jul 22

Doctor said he spoke to the pharmacist and he spoke to my doctor and came in and told me that I'm basically just feeling withdrawals from the antidepressant and anxiety meds and that it'll take another 24 to 48 hours for that to soak in

They told me to take my regular meds tonight except for the amlodipine blood pressure medicine and then tomorrow back to normal. They monitored my heart rate and stuff blood pressure for about an hour.

I'm home and fed the cats and laid down I still don't feel normal but at least I'm not as anxious worrying about what could possibly go wrong but that was very scary and I'm not going to let it go somebody's going to have hell to pay
