And I'm scared. I feel like they're coming to get me. Can hear mumble voices like people talking on a radio. It's like they're walking round my house. I'm sure they can't be real because people keep telling me that they're not So why do I keep hearing them?

what are the medications?

Stac2011 · 22/02/2011 00:34

are you with someone?

expatinscotland · 22/02/2011 00:34

Do you have any tranqs about? If you do, take one and see if that doesn't steady you or make you go to sleep until you can ring for an emergency appointment in the morning.

There's a number of reasons you might be hearing them and chief of them all is your meds.

expatinscotland · 22/02/2011 00:35

Can any Piriton in the house? That might help you to sleep.

expatinscotland · 22/02/2011 00:35

Sorry, that was 'got'.

I'm about to tranq up here in a mo' because we're getting new neighbours and that always makes me have panic attacks.

When do you take your meds? Do you take them all at once?

I have really bad anxiety, it gets out of control in my head. Think I have panic attacks but not sure.

blinks · 22/02/2011 00:39

ahhh...venlafaxin could well be the cause...

realy you need to see someone tonight for this.

are you england or scotland? call out of hours service and explain you're getting auditory hallucinations and tell them what medications you take.

blinks · 22/02/2011 00:40

MogadoredMemoo · 22/02/2011 00:40

Take most of them in the morning and then just buspirone at night. Propranolol as needed but it's crap. Dr changed me on to it from diazepam.

zop always made me lose bits of my memory.

blinks · 22/02/2011 00:42

Ok, I wil get dh to phone them. Just trying to think and I'm sure I had a bad reaction to venlafaxine last summer. Had like a hyper mania I think they called it

OP posts:
expatinscotland · 22/02/2011 00:44

it might be the busipirone or the quetiapine or the combination or the effectiveness.

never had a problem like this myself on ven and i was once on 150mg also had MAJOR problems with anxiety disorder/panic attacks that were very bad.

blinks · 22/02/2011 00:44

good. you'll be fine. best to get this addressed tonight though x

missjulie · 22/02/2011 00:44

mogadoredmemoo, i don't have any experience at all here, but just wanted you to know that i am thinking of you, and hope you get things sorted soon, sounds like blinks may be right. xx

expatinscotland · 22/02/2011 00:44

if you had a bad reaction to ven then yes, i agree with binks.

ven's one of the few things that worked for me but it's not for everyone.

blinks · 22/02/2011 00:45

you can get this with venlafaxine. tricky when taking a combination.

expatinscotland · 22/02/2011 00:45

sorry, blinks.

That sounds just like me expat. On 225 of venlafaxine which seems to help the depression. But I'm in such a state of anxiety that I can barely keep it together at times.
