Question: for several months I have had the following symptoms: inability to sleep, loss of taste and smell senses, constant loud ringing in my ears, loss of the abilty to cry . these symptoms developed after I went through detox at a psychiatric hospital for alcohol and Xanax . I had a strange experience in detox related to the phenobarbital . I was also given seroquil to help me sleep, but I reacted to it and had visual hallucinations.
I returned to the hospital three more times due to complete inability to sleep. each time I left the hospital I was in worse shape. My diagnosis is PTSD and Complex PTSD and Anxiety but I got sick from the drugs they gave me. I also had odd feelings in my mouth and tongue. It is hard for me to be still and I am also shaky Do you have any idea what this is?

Thanks. It seems like the things that used to be easy for me are extremely hard now, physically. I used to teach school and I was a published writer, but now it is all I can do to type.. Due to my loss of senses, I don't "feel" sad or depressed, but I'm sure I am on some level. I never sleep more than three hours a night, and I never get REM sleep. My quality of life has dropped to zero and I can't continue like this..

Thanks I am wondering if I have Tardive Dyskinesia. It is so strange to have no sense of smell or taste, and also be unable to cry or "feel." Have you ever heard of those symtoms? I went through detox in March 2016, so its been over a year. I started having auditory problems immediately, and it was inAugust of 2016 that I lost my sense of taste and smell. I really want to getmy senses back!

When I was in the hospital the fourth time last year, a psychiatrist gave me something that was supposed to make me sleep, but it made me much worse -- I paced and could not sit still and she took me off of it because it made me jerk. I hope I do not have Tardive Dyskinesia. I had an extreme reaction to the Phenobarbital while going through detox - my blood pressure spiked and I had horrible visual hallucinations and immediately began having trouble with my sense of hearing. The nurses were concerned about my reaction. Also, I was extremely emotional - I cried a lot, and that is the last time I cried.
Have you ever heard of a case where a person lost all of their senses? And the constant loud ringing in the ears is horrible. It sounds like thousands of crickets chirping in my ears. Thanks for your help..

One more thing, I was also given Gabapentin while in the hospital. I was told it was a drug for pain, but I read that it was to prevent seizures. After I began having visual hallucinations, I was taken off of the Seroquil and the Gabapentin.
I just want to regain my senses, literally, and to be able to resume a normal life.
The physical effects from the detox and the drugs has taken a big toll on me.
