(Keep in mind, I'm on an antidepressant called Remeron) At the age of 17 I started to become a bit more lazy. I didn't loose interest in anything, but i did become a little more withdrawn. I wanted to stay at home by myself mostly, but occasionally i did want to go out. I grew interested in philosophy and spent days thinking about what i've learned. Often, that is all I'd think about. About a month ago I smoked marijuana and it triggered something quite frightening. Before this, I smoked marijuana on and off since the age of 17 and experimented twice with hallucinogens. I had smoked for 2 days straight before that day. What happened was that I felt a head rush followed by more frequent head rushes, about 2 seconds apart consecutively. I felt the top half of my body grow cold and my face grow numb. I panicked and was sent to the hospital because I was extremely terrified. This didn't happen before. I felt normal for about a week until I had a panic attack. I was sitting in my room calmly watching TV when I felt like I was gonna lose touch with the world and I panicked for a while but then it managed to recede within a few seconds. The following day, I tried going to sleep but couldn't then that happened again, this time i did panic. The next day I visited a behavioral healthcare center. I was scheduled an appointment and then I returned home. That night I had another panic attack, this one more severe than any other. I was sent to the hospital and was scheduled an appointment for the next day. When I returned home from the hospital, I tried to sleep, but couldn't. As I slept, under extreme stress, I thought in my head "You're going crazy." and I heard the thought aloud. That day I went into the healthcare center and got a psych eval. I was diagnosed with Depression and put on anti-depressants. I had adverse effects the first few days. Mood swings, and irritability. They went away within 2 weeks. However, about 4 days ago I felt like something was odd and different. I felt like everything was dream like and started seeing things out of the corners of my eyes. These things would quickly disappear. I also noticed "Eye floaters" more often. Recently, I may have had auditory hallucinations, I think. I heard knocks on the door when there was no one at the door and i think I might have heard voices being whispered, although it also sounded like a drum beat and could've been coming from a TV. However, today I heard noises not connected to any actual stimuli. I have severe insomnia and colours seem less vivid, but features on things seem more well-defined. Also, phosphenes occur more often and usually stay for 10 seconds. My vision seems a bit more blurry. Like, I can no longer focus on things that are far. I've also had what people refer to as social anxiety for a year now. I'm scared to meet new people and I'm extremely shy.
