Casper,

I just got up for the day, having my coffee and see that you have 6 posts on the first page. the top 3 posts are yours. That tells me that you are in distress. If you are having hallucinations, please go to the ER. Do not wait until tomorrow. This is not normal as a symptom of withdrawal.

Stay within one post so members can follow and help you. Let us know how you are doing. Please go now!!!!!

I have hallucinated before going c/t.  It's from not getting enough sleep.  You're mind starts to play tricks on you after a while.  If you don't sleep for days on end, for whatever reason, you will hallucinate.  I was having wicked night terrors too when I would get like a half hour.  I would wake up in a panic, dripping with sweat, freaking out about what just went through my mind.  Eventually it subsided though.  So uh...I guess my point is, try to get some sleep!

gnarly is right, if it is something like you suggested going on then you need help *right away*. But you won`t know whats really going on until you see a doctor. Don`t take a gamble on your life by putting this off any longer. Please go NOW Casper!! We care about you and wish you would listen to our advice.

Casper,

Vicky is right, you keep saying that your going to see a doctor but you keep putting it off. Please take all of our advice and go right away. You really need to be seen asap. Some of the symptoms you`ve been having are NOT typical wd symptoms. I felt like walking death but I never had hallucinations or passed out cold like you`ve had happen. There is something going on so PLEASE go. I`m glad you got a few hours sleep and wonder if your feeling any better? But even if you think your doing a bit better you still need medical attention right away. Let us know what the doctor says.
