Hi everyone, I usually don't post anything, but I really don't know what to do atm. Or who to talk to? i won't meet with my therapist again until next week, so here goes nothing... I'm pretty sure I have serotonin syndrome and that I had it in the past, too. I was in a crash about a week or so ago and was prescribed a painkiller AND a muscle relaxer for back pain. (im doing ok when it comes to the crash) The thing is, I'm on zoloft the minimal amount. That muscle relaxer was prescribed to me back in oct-dec 2021 to help with migraines. At some point, i didn't have headaches anymore, just brain fog and confusion, which are side effects, but i thought it was my migraine. The neurologist didn't tell me it was side effects he made it seem it was my migraine. Anyways. I dropped the doc and quit meds.(i was too busy with work and depressed). Fast pass to august 2022. I have a seizure doctors called it a pseudo seizure (fake seizure). Honestly, that was my fault, not the doctor's. I mixed medicines (prescribed for a knee surgery that happened in may and the migraine medicines) and thc/cbd. Medicines, that when they get mixed, show to "produce" serotonin syndrome. Anyways, doc didn't say anything aside me attempting and sent me to a psych ward. The brain fog persisted for days, if not weeks after. At this point, I thought it was migraines being stressed induced. While I was in the psych ward, they also gave me 2 medicines, one to help me sleep and an antidepressant I completely blacked out one night when i was about to shower with barely enough time to get a nurse I technically dragged myself dripping wet to the nurse station. My blood pressure completely dropped, and I passed out. AND STILL they kept me on those meds šŸ„² i threw them.... well, after that awful stay at the psych ward( more awful stuff happened), I was sent to an interventional psychiatry office to get treated for my existing anxiety and depression. took me about 2 month to feel comfortable enough (and feed up with my depression) to get into zoloft, therapy has been going well but man, do i hate having to deal with this brain fogginess again. while at the end, I even told the nurse I was on antidepressants and if the medicine would have any bad interactions and she completely brushed it off???? So yeah!! IM REALLY ANGRY, and im usually non confrontational and anti-violance but lately, I've noticed I have been the complete opposite in a bad way. So if anyone reads all this. have you gone through something similar, too? and if so, how did u deal with it? i dont want to show up at the er for a 3rd time because of the same problems that doctors have provoked. But at the same time, these symptoms and my anxiety telling me I'm at the brink of death are eating me up.
