I'm still feeling bad not like yesterday, iratable and anxous and I feel as if I can't sit still. Took a dose of kolonopin but it's not helping . My pdoc said to go to the ER if needed but I don't feel suicidal just hopeless and my appt is 2 weeks away. I feel it's only a matter of time before I blow up again .

Oh and moms still accusing me of being on drugs! Because I slept most the day . What should I do!

I know it's late is anybody out there to give some insight?

Today it's 6 am went to bed at 3am. HELLO some ad vice please!

I'm not sure what you mean by "moms still acusing me of being on drugs. Because i slept most of the day. What should i do"...?

As you doctor recommends you do, go to ER if times get touch, the Klonopin doesn't seem to be working its not fair that you are going thru all this, you may need a med tweak, ER can do that for you, 2 wks away to see your pdoc is too long if this contunues, and you need more sleep than 3 hrs, keep posting we are listening and can continue to give some feedback. I'm sorry you are going thru this, it is repairable.

For my meds to get tweaked I would have to voluntarly admit myself to the phyc unit. I would be locked up for 3 days. Gosh I have 1 excuse after another! I feel like beatin my head in with an oven mitten! (Cuz a bat would hurt!) lol!

It is the same way here, the ER doesn't do anything psychiatric, they just admit you to the mental hospital. Three days isn't that bad, it would be good for you to get some rest. They can correct your medications and you won't have to wait 2 weeks. It's your call, you have to decide if you can wait 2 weeks.

Two weeks is a long time to wait to see your pdoc. You need help now. Are you able to take three days to go into the hospital? It sounds like you really need to do something and do it now. It is totally up to you, we cannot tell you what to do, but you are suffering. You have to decide whether or not you can wait two weeks. Posting here will help some because we are here for you and will do anything we can do to help you.

All we can do is talk to you. You can keep posting to us to relive your talking comfort, bu you must decide what to do about your situation. Two weeks is a lot of time to sit and suffer with what you are going through. If you would go to the ER, you would get help right now. Three days isn't too long and you would get your medications adjusted right now. They can help you. They also have payment plans if you can't afford it. As far as your mother goes, tell her that you are not feeling well and you are unable to get the sleep you need, so you sleep when you can and right now it's during the day. Please have compassion. I wish you the best and hope that you feel better. Please keep posting.

I would call my PDoc. They can fit you in or after you telling them what you are experiencing they can call in a script. Tweak your meds whatever. Drs. are there to help people, and sometimes we need their help outside of business hours. That's why they have an answering service. When I have had an emergency. Mixed Mania. I called talked to him, and got in. If your Dr. gives you no recourse when there is a problem. I would look for another. I have had 3 that I have called, and spoken too after office hours, and they helped me. I wouldn't expect anything less. The only time I have ever been advised by my Dr. to go to the E.R. was when he went on vacation. I was told if any problems arise while he is on vacation, and was in need to go to a specific hospital in the area.

When seeing a Dr. for the first time I would ask. If he was available in case you need him.

UPDATE:::::::

Was able to get ahold of my pdocs nurse I MADE my husband do it. I made him tell her about the voices and everything. I've been keeping myself sedated with 1mg of kolonopin every 4-5 hrs. So I've been sleeping. The nurse said she would do what she wouldld try to get me in Saturday. My husband said if not they gave him a number to call to admit me if I get worse, isn't that called neglect? I am worse I've been sedating myself, I hear voices Im manic and depressed on the rollercoaster at BP land! (crying) why does he insist on keeping me trapped? I think I'll take some more kolonopin and go back to sleep.

Sigh!
