Been locked down in the looney bin

Hey Y'all,
I haven't posted for awhile because I have been in the mental ward at the VA hospital. My doctor was doing a rapid medicine change, taking me off one med completely. I had a rough couple of days and nights there. It's bad when I have a mind and can't use it for anything. I got thru the inability to comprehend sentences and paragraphs by reading a bible I found In psalms. The shakes and all the other physical things going on went away with medication adjustments they did. I was a basket case for about two days though. I wouldn't wish it on anybody.

I am back and doing OK for now. I still have good and bad days. last night I slept for 17 hours. I was so wore out that I finally crashed and burned. I have been doing nothing but running it seems for the last few days since I got out of the hospital.

Well, Y'all take care!!
Cornbread

Oh, Cornbread, I am so sorry you had to go through all that. your doctor should not have cut off potent medication like that! Most doctors wean patients off gradually and avoid such tramatic reactions. You need a better doctor!!
I hope you are on the way to complete recovery. Please take good care of yourself!
