Having A Bad Psychotic Time. I Think It Is A Side Effect Of All The Drugs I Was On At The Dentist.

[gordiescotland1]

Hi there Im feeling extremely paranoid at the moment I took 10mg lorezapam last wednesday for dentist and since then Ive been feeling paranoid. I also took diazepam on friday and saturday. I feel that people are spying on me I noticed some weird virus thing on my computer on saturday and I thought that maybe one of my neighbours put it on remotely to my computer. is that irrational> then today I was in the bath when one of my neighbours knocked on my door and spoke to me about her having a baby and the back door which is next to me and then mentioned something about the housing association I dont make any noise at all and I dont go out of the back door a friend of mine who knows someone in the block thinks she is letting of steam about the back door banging and waking up her baby but for 10 hours I have no recollection of what I did last wednesday and she did mutter something about it wednesday or thursday and I think I may have upset her but dont know who she is i am so agitated I think im going crazy !!

Calm down, gordie.
Do you take anything other than your prescribed medication ?
If so, then stop.

[gordiescotland1]

Ive spoken to someone about technology and now know that my neighbours cant spy on me I am going to ring the doctor

[ladyalex]

I think that is an excellent idea, Gordie

See the doctor as soon as you can gordie, and as ladyalex says, try and calm down.... take some deep breaths...Good luck x

The fact that you are speaking to us and have stated that you may be paranoid is a good sign. Even when I suffer any type of psychosis there is a small voice of reason sitting in the corner of my brain telling me that whatever I think is going on is just a figment of my imagination.

Go see your doctor. Your GP will know your history. They will know whether to prescribe anti-psychotics or if there are any talking therapies that will help.

Try not to assume that your neighbour is blaming you for the noise. Logically it is doubtful that you would go in and out the door just to slam it.

Remember that you are not alone - many of us have experienced severe mental health problems. Living alone is sometimes a good thing but often it just makes you feel more isolated.

good advice susan.

Gordie see your gp as soon as you can. Some of the things you are describing could be caused by the diazepam itself. I'm not sure why you have 10mg for the dentist, that's the top whack and used for extreme anxiety or even pre-med. 2mg is more normal I think.

See your GP, gordie. This is why I was saying last week that they need to sort out your antidepressants so you are more on a level-not just overload you with sedatives at crisis points. Please speak to them. This isn't fair or necessary.

Keep calm gordie, you are doing well. You need your doctor. Sometimes the pills can exacerbate things. Keep talking and understanding what is happening. Don't drink anything alchoholic, please.
