Side effects
My ex started this medication last night, all I know is he takes a half dose. He experienced (in somewhat order over 4 hours) : feeling weird/ high, feeling like he’s floating, feeling extremely high energy, anxiety, confusion, slurred speech, paranoia, panic attacks, inability to stand, extreme depression/ suicidal thoughts, mood swings, vomiting, small seizure, more vomiting and delirium.
He started having panic attacks so I picked him up and we drove around for a while, eventually he got out of my moving vehicle in the middle of a severe thunderstorm. He was acting super weird leading up to this but I kept asking if he was okay and he kept saying yes. He ended up at my apartment and had a small seizure, kept forgetting where he was, vomiting, and I had to help him walk from my car. Even when he’s not like this he refuses to go to the hospital so he stayed with me so somebody could be with him all night but it was very difficult to get him to cooperate between his best friend and I convincing him he could not be alone.
I’m trying to get him to talk to somebody before his next dose tonight so I don’t have to end up picking him up in fear of him hurting himself. Is this normal?? When does it go away? He’s been sober for 3 months he just struggles with it.
