psychotic reaction listen

My pdoc yesterday told me it's possible to have a psychotic break from too severe anxiety. This scares me bad, what is that? Does that mean I'll go crazy and hurt someone? Myself? Has anyone ever had one of these? Also is there anyone here that has had several months of severe anxiety, then slowly goes back to several months of calm? I'm afraid this feeling will last forever. Just to make sure I'm experiencing this "anxiety" what does it feel like to u all?

My doctor changed my medicine to another anti-psychotic, and my pupils stopped getting large.

ve never heard of such a thing, except when people are going off of some of the medications, then you can have psychotic reactions. My mother had that reaction when she suddenly got half the dose of Effexor which I proved to her facility that the FDA said that sudden tapering off of that med could cause all her crazy symptoms. They were close to throwing her out of the facility. But I can see why you wouldn't want to try anything after a reaction like that.

Well, I'm not sure about that. Antipsychotics don't work right away. Tranquilizers do. Antipsychotics, if they do work, work all the time. Tranquilizes only work for a short period of time and then wear off. If she took this as an antipsychotic injection, it would be during an emergency situation but she would have to take the shots for several months and then go on the medication for longer than that.

ve been diagnosed bipolar for about 2 years. I get horrible depression because of my bipolar. I recently had a really bad reaction to pot. REALLY bad. I almost killed myself, screamed at my friends, and vomited for 2 days. No one else that smoked it had a bad reaction. I haven't had a medication change recently. I'm on lamictal, seroquel, wellbutrin, cymbalta, and adderall. I don't know what happened. It wasn't laced or else everyone would have gotten sick.

I am currently recovering from a severe depression with suicide ideation in which i apparently had psychotic symptoms. Has anyone else had psychosis without knowing what it was until speaking to your therapist about what was going on? and does anyone have any advice as to what to look for in oneself when psychosis starts?

Oh yeah!!!! Music is a great escape. I use it all the time. For like a year though, I used it basically every day, blasting it in my car. Not caring if I went deaf from it. It just was an escape, and I would listen to the heaviest songs imaginable. But through the year it kind of set me off, got me in bad moods when i didnt know. So, it wasnt really an escape all the time. ITS a tricky thing. I mean, music is amazing, dont get me wrong, but sometimes you just need that peace.

As soon as things change he becomes defiant. sometimes he does not want to listen or sit in circle time. I thought about ADHD but he is not all over the place. He is defiant. He says he doesn't want to do something. I noticed alot of his behavior has been in daycare. If they change one thing, he reacts. Sometimes if he is asked to do something he acts if he doesn't hear you. He will contnue with his tasks. I have to pull him away from what he is doing.

Hi. I've been on Seroquel and then Seroquel XR for about two years now. I was initially prescribed it for bipolar mania, and the resultant insomnia. I have had panic attacks before prior to taking Seroquel, however never constantly, and never for no reason at all. I would have a panic attack after a traumatic event, or when I smoked pot as a teenager, but otherwise I never had them.

I have bipolar 1 with psychotic features. Is there any anti psychotic that doesn't make you gain weight? I am on risperdal consta 25 mg, and I have gained 35 pounds in 10 months. I am not on any other medication, and yet I keep on gaining weight. Does all the anti psychotic make you gain weight? Is there any anti psychotic that doesn't make you gain weight?

My mother has recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder by a therapist. She has agreed to see a psychiatrist but she is still tentative on the idea. I have some familiarity with the disability and much of what impacts on me is very distressing, turning ideas with factual solutions into emotional conflicts, insomnia attacks, manic, inappriopriate jokes that will arise out of nowhere, an agitated mixed state that will arise from minor disagreements and a general sense of hysteria.

Has anyone out there had a Psychotic Reaction to Lexapro during first week of treatment? I was given it for acute anxiety, within 24 hrs it crashed my into depression, I have suffered mild attacks of depression in the past, but nothing like this.

I suppose anyone can have a strange reaction to something but I've never heard of marijuana producing a psychotic reaction. People will have their underlying mood exaggerated by it, so if your son is anxious marijuana might make him more so. Much more so. And that can set off conditioned thinking, so such people should avoid it. But it sounds like something else to me or what you're describing isn't accurate, just an acute thing going on between the two of you.

First off, thank you to all who spoke up for me the other day. I needed a little reassurance. In the doctors (pleural - my gp was told by the docs who work for the insurace company) defense, I have no sign, really, of organic disease. In order to explain my difficulties, they came up with somatization disorder. I spent yesterday researching somatization disorder, all over the world wide web. I then RE-researched the neuropathic pain which brought me to them. You know?

Well, over years and years of living life this way, having went down into drugs and back, I didnt much listen to techno music cause it reminded me of my drug days. Now that it doesn tbother me like that and I have found deadmau5, skrillex, and many many more I feel that no matter how hyper, tense, or depressed I get they can bring me to some somber, calm place where my racing thoughts can no longer enter. The songs almost pose as a reset button during the hardest of times.

On April 2nd I made the decision to admit myself to a psychiatric hospital due to a psychotic episode. The thing that I'm having the hardest time comprehending is if I induced the episode or not. I convinced myself that I was covered in fleas, I heard voices saying my name and calling me worthless in the past, & I experienced paranoia. I don't know what to think right now. I wish I could know if I made the symptoms worse or not...

can anyone share their experiences with psychotic mania or bipolar with psychotic features? i have no idea where mine are heading but they are here, and they are not backing down.

my 22 year old son just experienced a psychotic break. I need to understand how he was feeling. Is there anyone who has personally experienced this, and would be willing to describe what you felt? I am desperate to understand what he is going through.

5 which I feel fine.. As of late I have been waking up with what my friend believes is psychotic episodes, moments of ultra confusion for me as I usually have no recolection. It is now getting to the point where I could hurt myself as I thrash about and walk into walls. I had a CT Scan which showed no problem. These attacks which I thought where TIA"s (Transient ischaemic attacks) mini strokes if you like proved otherwise..

Not every breakdown is psychotic. I had a complete mental breakdown about 16 years ago or so which lead to 3 years of crushing depression - my illness course leaves me prone to this type of breakdown. However not being on meds? Dont know - i went nearly 15 years not on meds and i thought i was fine until I wasnt and went psychotic manic, so you might be fine for a long time as well. And I wasnt fine, I was hypomanic and looking back had at least 3 mini breakdowns and burnouts in that time.

She is 20 years old and in college. Today she told me she felt like she was having a psychotic breakdown.What is this kind of breakdown?

I really cant help if after the birth of her last baby, if she wasnt put on an antidepressant, and shes not having a bad reaction. News says she is in hospital now and try are trying to get a court order to force her to take the meds which she is currently refusing. Mabey SHE knows more than the doctors regarding whats making her act so bizzare...

It's tough to know when someone is honestly listening. I'm not open to discussing thoughts or emotions to people as well, but slowly talking about it does help. Eventually you do find someone willing to listen, and you will find your own personal ways of releasing emotions.

Keep seeing the p work, psychotic, sort gets me worried. I don't see myself as psychotic. My doctor doesn't think I'm psychotic, I think he just thinks that when I'm very depressed I can get this way. I remember calling my therapist while I was in San Diego on a nightmare vacation, where the whole time I thought I had rabies or something was terriblly wrong with me. I might add, I was also on a medication for birth control called yaz, which I think contributed to the whole thing.
