I had to cancel my bible class that I teach tonight because last week I got horrible confussed coming home. I am in the dc area so if you can imagaine. I ended up taking 3 wrong turns. tried to call husband and he was asleep. however the good Lord showed me the way home. Just like him huh? well not tonight I started freaking out and had a full blown panic attack when I was getting ready. My head hurts and i feel sick to my stomache and I just can't drive in the dark over there. Its about 25 miles. I feel like a complete idiot. Has any one had to go through with drawls from lyrica and cymbalta Before i am on my 2nd week. I took my klonipon to ease the anxiety and it gone as of yesterday. My shrink said no refills till 24 well I got it refilled the 14th last time and that might of been only a few days early. so i know i can have it by the 14th but she wont give it to me. I do i know if i need to go to the hospital. I dont want to go to mental ward for petes sake they will put me on more drugs there. I just want something to ease me out of this. and the docs are not on the same page. I dont know. I just feel horrible ashamed and just want to throw myself off a friken bridge. But i really wont do that.

What sabishii said, and get a garmin it sometimes still gets me lost but at least when I needed it it got me home. :) It was my last yr xmas gift from my honey and I hate it some days but love it when I am ready to freak out due to being so lost. Even with directions sometimes I get lost.
But dont beat yourself up, you are doing all you can do, YOUR BEST. HUGS

Nothing to feel ashamed about. Shame should only be felt if you did something wrong on purpose, did a bad deed and such. *HUGS* I live in D.C. area, too, and I know all too well the traffic woes and beltway stuff

why are you detoxing from lyrica, did they give you something to replace it. I have had episodes like that, get lost while driving in my own neighborhood. It's scary, maybe canceling your class is a idea. Or, turning it over to someone else for a awhile. Hope you get the meds you need. I am on Lyrica now, I prefer Ultram, and have just run out of that. But, I have the lyrica. It amazes me, they don't want you on narcotic meds, but give you a hand full of pills to take 3 times a day. I just don't thik that is any better.

First of all, I want to say don't be ashamed or feel stupid for not wanting to go back to that bible study! You had a bad experience and it's going to take awhile and a lot of positive thinking for you to go back there.
I also have panic attacks and a few years ago, I convinced myself that I couldn't go out at all at night. Well, I must be very convincing because it's horrible when I go out at night even in my car a few blocks away. I haven't been in the store at night because of this fear of the night I've convinced myself of. Well, don't let your fear get to that point. You will be fine if you go back there. The worst that could happen is you could have another panic attack. What I do is I just try to do some slow, controlled breathing, and relax. I also take klonopin before bed only. I can take it as needed but I'm too anxious to do that a lot of the time. Also, try to think positive. Instead of saying I'm so ashamed say to yourself "I gave it my best." Also, if you tell the people at your bible study they will all be much more supportive than you think. Also, cast all of your anxiety upon the Lord because he cares for you. He will help you through this. God bless you! Jenny

I am detoxing from Lyrica because I was having the side effects that say rarely. HUH right. I was becoming stupified. I couldnt focus i had blurry vision had a hard time concentrating couldnt multi task anymore. and could remember what I did the day before. And really no remember. I was on lyrica 300 mgs 2 times a day to keep me from getting headaches migrains. NO they gave me nothing to replace it or ease my issues. my docs arent on the same page. My migrain dr is in Nebraska and I am dc area but we fly home to see our family once a month. I know i shouldnt be ashamed i just felt like a idiot. I am suppose be teaching the class and most of them do know the situation but just not the extent of it. thank you all. Any ideas let me know.
