Hi. I Have Been Seeing The Same Psychiatrist For Over

Hi. I have been seeing the same psychiatrist for over 5 years. At times, he would see me 2 or 3 times per week dependent upon therapist availability and need. I was regularly prescribed multiple psychotropic medications for many years. In the past 2 years, I have had significant personal issues with a 27 year old marriage ending etc which has caused significant financial and mental anguish and hardship. Last week I made a serious suicidal gesture and the next day, my psychiatrist refused to see me any longer. He recommended that I find another psychiatrist. I am not actively suicidal right now. However, I no longer wish to see any other psychiatric personnel because truly, I am seriously seriously devastated and confused and hurt and..... I couldn't comprehend what he was saying when he was telling me that he refused to see me any longer. I really do not EVER want to get into any type of relationship like this EVER again. EVER. So, knowing that he would not be seeing me any longer and therefore would not be med monitoring or prescribing....and knowing that not seeing anyone else would mean the eventual lack of anyone to prescribe my psychotropics, I took myself off of them since my last visit with him. Since that time, I have become increasingly weak and have a weird smell of mist or steam in my nose. I feel like I am having difficulty catching my breath. Slight nausea. Ringing in my ears and lightheadedness. Frequent urination with no color. Sweating with the air conditioner on. I am hoping that all of these symptoms are just simply a withdrawal response to all of the meds I was taking and that it will just go away if I sleep it off. That being said, this weird sense of smell...like if you would sit in the bathroom while a hot shower was going has become constant. Anyway...I have just stayed in bed and slept when necessary.... But I just wanted to check with someone and didn't know where else to go besides sitting in the ER waiting room for an entire night. Thanks
