Hey all, just having a continuious freak out feeling, can't get out of bed most days, had to call the psych clinic yesterday and got a prescription for Librium as they reckon my GAD is down to detoxing from booze and cannabis (17 years of heavy use) i'm 37 now,
My amazing wife I can tell from today is starting to resent the whole situation as she is exhausted from dealing with our two high energy kids (4 and 2 yrs old) they are brilliant kids but lately I just can't handle being around them when they start their screaming fits and when my wife and I are together they want to be in the middle of it all, talking over the top of use. We literally can't have a conversation without them starting on us. My wife works daytimes and I work at night so time together is rare at best.
I have little to no appetite and have lost a load of weight. I went for psychiatric assessment yesterday morning and felt pretty ok when I went in so the docs just said continue on the meds my GP had prescribed me and that they should take 2-4 weeks to work, when I got home the kids started and within minutes I was a nervous wreck. on my way to work at teatime I pulled in the car and called the hospital and asked to speak to the doc I had seen earlier and pretty much broke down on the phone with him. He said to call in to the late doc on call and get a cert for Librium, apparently its very good at reducing the anxiety.
I don't know what to think cause I've been off heavy cannabis use for 6 weeks now (bar 3 or 4 occassions where I literally had a drag of a joint but it didn't agree with me so I'm done with it now) but in the last six weeks I've been having 1-2 pints most nights of the week. I know this doesn't class as a complete detox but if anybody out there has done this before could they tell me their experience. I'm going drink free now that I have the course of Librium. the worry has me pretty much housebound except for work, lethargic, no appetite, no interest in anything. Is this normal? My original thoughs were health anxiety which are starting to creep back in.
help!
