I'd say avoid psychiatric medicines prescribed by any doctor other than
a psychiatrist. Try to figure out what changed in the home's
environment prior to onset of symptoms. Possibly see an environmental
health specialist if you are covered by insurance. Or maybe you do have
a stress-related conversion disorder, and if so, I hope you can just
stay out of that toxic situation. That seems to be what your body is
telling you to do, whatever the cause.
