Went To Sleep Study And Ended Up Locked Up!

[BlastDaddy]

Well I don't know where to go with this. Seems I have more issues. I went for my sleep study the other day. First off I was terrified and was uncomfortable.

I often have a hard time going to sleep or if I go to sleep I wake up continuously.

Being scared I wouldn't sleep or just to take the edge off I had a couple drinks. Two to be exact. That wasn't the problem.

After taking all my meds I fell asleep but while asleep I became entangled in the cords and started having a violent dream. I was awaken by security trying to hold me down and then given some type of shot that knocked me out. I then woke up again in another hospital in the mental ward.

I was released that evening but was still drugged up from my medications and the tranquilizer they shot me with.

The police stopped by my house to check up on me just to see if I was ok. He said he had been dispatched on a health and welfare to my location a couple times but this time he was visiting on his own for he was the office who transported me.

I don't know if my study was completed or if there will be another since the VA outsourced this study. What is left now? I clearly don't know what to do.

As USVet said get your records off MyHealthevet. I have all of my mental health notes posted there. I have been able to down load them and look at them....also ROI always tells you that they can not release MH records but if you fill out the request anyway often the Psych docs will release them unless they think the information will harm you...So far I haven't had that problem. All I am saying is fill out the request for your health records and see what happens...also go to MyHealthevet and see if they are in there.

I did fill out the paperwork. This the second time I requested my notes from MH with that hospital and they were denied.

Finally received the ER room notes and Doctors notes.

He said I was violent and suffered from Sever PTSD. "Seems to be in combat, suffers from severe PTSD".

He also stated I was uncontrolled and did not seem to be in a stable state of mind at the time but after seeing me several hours later I was not the same person and was able to release me to a family member with agreement to seek counseling. WTH is that.

But why did they give me so many drugs knowing I had already taken what was prescribed. They shot me up with additional "5 haldol and 5 Ativan". They said I was ut of control.

Well, I guess I will see where this leads.
