I was only on fluoxetine for a week. It was one of the worst weeks of my life. I couldn’t eat, drink water, sleep, I was manic with violent thoughts, had seizures.. Went to ER once – they took my blood and discharged me with the instructions to keep taking med. the fuck? Went back another time and finally the third time I told them about the violent thoughts and they kept me for observation. I’m so glad they did. My mind was not right. I felt like how I’ve read schizophrenia feels like, it was hell in my mind. Turns out I’m bipolar and that reaction is common from taking the wrong meds. But it was scary
Yeah, I’m seeing my dr next week, but im freaking out because this is dead/finals week and i dont have my shit together, and I have a lot to do before these two weeks are over!

What kind of sick?
Head ache and nausea, and I threw up in dance class today.
Are you taking benzos?
fluoxetine
I’m not a doctor but I’m fairly certain that you get some nasty withdrawal from that.
