[loops81]

Hi again all

My b/f this evening has had a funny turn again, first he was very agitated pacing around then was on the floor and now feels drunk, and disorientated/ no co-ordination?

He is on the phone now to the NHS, anyone else ever had this?

He is going through a period of adjusment again with the higher dose ,Hes also probably making himself feel more anxious thinking about things .Sounds like hes feeling spaced out and has derealisation .This is caused by high levels of anxiety .he more he foghts the feelings and reacts to them ,The worse it gets .Hes now back to square one with the increase and will have to ride it out .It will pass .If he gets too much to deal with he must go to hospital .Its too big a responsibility of you to cope with and he must stay safe .I see hes now 2.5mg short of the Diaz ,I dont think this is helping either ,He needs to get stable as I said before he thinks of cutting down on these .Have you got a crisis number to ring ? Sending you both a big hug .:bighug1::bighug1:.Its a difficult time for you ,but it wont last forever . Luv Sue x

Is he adamant about not having a spell in hospital? Nobody wants to have to go into a psychiatric ward but at least he can be observed until his meds are stabilised. He might only need to stay for a week or two. Do the Crisis Team visit him daily?

I really hope things improve for you both soon, you've been having a terrible time recently.

Best Wishes. :hugs:

Sounds like derealisation/depersonalisation to me.

Hi Loops,
Sorry to hear your bf's having such a bad time. Don't worry yourself over these symptoms. It sounds like a normal reaction to the pills. He is worrying about these symptoms far too much and the best you can do is react as if everything is normal, to help him realise he isn't in any danger.

You're doing well, just stay totally calm and relaxed around him. That's the only advice I can give. Don't react as if there's anything wrong. If you need help or believe he could hurt himself make sure you phone the crisis team.

Take care x
