Too bad you had to go off meds since it sounds like mania has hold of you. Can you get some samples from your doc? The drug companies provide all the docs with samples. Here's a website for med help: http://www.nami.org/Content/ContentGroups/Helpline1/Prescription_Drug_Patient_Assistance_Programs.htm

OTC valerian is very effective in calming so you could try that.

I think you should be in a safe place before spiraling down. Without meds it will be nearly impossible to get a grip; my experience. Do get yourself checked in even if you have to crawl around on the floor- a piece of advise my sister gave me when I was in an ER. Hugs 2 u

It sounds like you need help Jesse..... Can you get into see your doc quickly??... say by Monday?.... If you can't get into see someone soon I would go to emerg... They can at least restart your meds
I hope you feel better soon...x

Glad things aren't worse as in "major issues" but yeah, I think you should get help now, because is all becomes "major" so fast when you're on the edge.
Take care!

    So I have been having a lot of health issues and my cardiologist felt that he didn't get clear enough images of my heart in the office, so he wanted to do a Trans-esophegeal heart Echocardiocgram in the hospital. I was pretty nervous about it, because I've never had any procedures related to my heart or any other major organs. I've had knee surgery and thyroid surgery, but to me anything to do...
