I have been jobless for quite a while, so when I had the opportunity to sold my most precious thing I did it. To show to my family that I had a job, I bought a red BMW M Sport, which left me with only a thousand dollars or so. I was "inside" the family again, at least for a week; I regained sympathetic relationships with my mom, both my grandmothers, and specially my dad; he was so happy, proud of me, so nice with me, that I can't forget it; he was my best friend again.
But, as all lies, it was found out that something strange was going with me because I wasn't going to work, I didn't pay the rent or helped with the electricity or phone tax, and my grandmother found out some strange papers about me.

Now, thanks for your time, but all the first paragraph has been a deception of my mind in a vivid/lucid night terror which lasted about 3 or 4 hours. I woke up in a desperate state, thinking what to do; I kept thinking about it more than a hour, deeply thinking about the situation, which it wasn't too clear for me, specially, how the hell I bought the car.
It felt almost like an "after seizure", which it totally could have been, when you are awakening from it, and are unable to put things in order. My mind wandered from "what did I sell that worth a BMW?", "isn't my dad and grandmother dead?", to finally "did all this really happened?"

I don't know what is happening with me; one thing are the classic horrible withdrawals I'm experienced with, and another is this. I feel like going mental, like something is not working properly in my head, specially when I sleep, always when I sleep.

What I am going through is madness. I have been 2 or 3 days without benzos, but yesterday just had 225mg of Pregabalin (Lyrica) which at least should keep me "sane", preventing seizures, for at least a night. I also have been off Venlafaxine(Effexor) for 24 hours, which I replaced it for a day with a small dose of Sertraline(Zoloft) as it says in the swapping antidepressant treatment I usually follows. I never had any problem, in fact, I felt so well the times I needed to switch to Sertraline because I ran out of Venlafaxine, that I thought of saying to my doctor to change it.

So, I don't know the why nor the what happened really. I don't feel depressive right now, I feel anxious and still a little scared because all the dream situation was so impregnated in my mind. What should I do? the Neurologist I have been only found out I had mixed Neuropathy. The Psychiatrist, that I have Major Depressive Disorder. That's it; but I feel I'm going mental.
 
Be careful on the benzo withdrawal.

Were you out of benzos when you took the SSRI the last time and felt good. SSRI don't work right away and can make people feal crazy until the change in the brain happens. They need to be taken regularly to work.

This might have mixed with the benzo withdrawal.

Benzo withdrawal is hell on its own.

Effexor is a SNRI while Zoloft is a SSRI.

Just seems to me your pulling a whole bunch of different colored strings and sometimes this can scramble the mechanism.

Hope you feel better soon!
 
Benzo withdrawl had me seeing spiders coming out of electric outlets. I hallucinated for weeks after a heavy Xanax problem and getting clean in Rehab. Never taken a Ssri but it sounds like benzo wds.

To me too, it would be the second night terror I had because of Benzos withdrawl but never the images in my head so "tangible" like the other night... maybe the withdrawl from Venlafaxine has something to do too, IDK.
Anyway, since yesterday that I have consumed a ton of Lorazepam, even Tramadol, and could sleep.. okay, with a few interruptions.
 
venlafaxine is an sndri in higher doses but not likely at 225 i take 300 a day and am scared to run out... shitless... but regardless that plus benzo withdrawal is probably horrible.

it definitely has something to do with it; the venlafaxine. it alone can put you in a psych hospital... i am thinking about switching to ssri prozac to get off of it. And prozac has a very very long half life. You do have to be on it a little while to get full effects.
