PCP (?) Flashbacks

many years ago I was given PCP (I think, going by the reaction) without my knowledge or consent.  I halucinated for nearly three weeks.  Since then I cannot get near anything mind-altering, a glass of wine is sufficient to induce hallucinations (mainly in the form of ghastly thoughts).  There are other lingering symptoms, I think, including confusion and attendant anxiety.  

Is there anything I can do to reverse this?

Hi I don't know that this will be any help. I have never done PCP, but back in the day I took LSD like it was candy. It's been about 15-20 yrs. ago. I used to get flashbacks, when I was tripping alot, and I think after I quit I had them for approx. 2 yrs. I find I can be paranoid  and anxious at times, Doc told me I had a mood disorder and possibly bi-polar. I've done many different drugs over the years, I am 36, you name it I probably did it, however PCP wasn't ever around where I lived. I believe all the drugs I took caused the paranoia and anxiety, I've been clean for 1 1/2, and I'm just starting to feel "normal" again, except for anxiety & paranoia at times. When you say u r having flashbacks, r u hallucinating? As far as the Docs diagnosis perhaps you should get a second opinion. This is just what I would do. I'm not a health professional, I'm just giving you info on what I've been through. Feel free to message me at anytime.

Hello. Have you spoken to your doctor about this? I bet this is rather scary for you to go through! I wish I had some sound advice and answers for you, but I don't. But a doctor would be my suggestion. Good luck and I hope you find the answers, it must be frustrating to live this way. Keep checking back, somebody may have an answer for you.

Yes.  He told me I was schizophrenic.

Do you feel that diagnosis is correct?

from one experience... when I knew I had been exposed to something, just not what? No.

I cannot imagine that this was drug induced. It sounds like a medical issue and I think you need to see another doctor and get a correct diagnosis. I hope they find the root of the problem. Let us know how you make out.

Okay.  Chronic anxiety is an issue I'm currently addressing... finally.
