I keep having a problem where I seems like I am helpless. It seems like I am trapped and like I am hallucinating, but in all actuality, I am not. Sometimes, it makes me sleep a lot, sometimes I sleep very little. It has happened three times since August 2006. The first time, the doctors said that it was depression, so they prescribed me Clonazapem. The second time, they thought that it was an allergic reaction to an antihistamine (since three times before I had been taking anithistmaines for other problems, so they were always prevalent). Also in the second time, I had no reason to be depressed and took an antibiotic to help me get over a stomach virus. The third time was the worse. I got into a fight with my father on Christmas Eve, and for some reason I knew it was going to happen again. These episodes usually last for a week, and it seems as if nonsensical things are happening, and it feels as if nothing is real. I have no clue what is wrong with me and would just like some answers.

Sounds like a more thorough exam is needed. Klonipin isn't used for depression. forget the regular doc and see a psychiatrist who can help you with the appropriate antidepressant should that be what you need. Hallucinations are rare with depression but not unheard of. Good luck and I hope you get better soon. No one should have to suffer as you have.

This is not something that can be diagnosed without looking at brain function and other symptoms. What you are describing sounds much like one particular type of epileptic seizure - simple partial seizure. The duration is longer than normal, but not outside the range. Take a look at these links and see if the description of the symptoms fits, and what to expect if it is epilepsy. If you think it might be epilepsy, you might consider making an appointment with a neurologist.

Severe anxiety would be my best guess.
