Save yourself the trip and take some medicine. You might not find it so bad now that you have been off it for a while. It may help to take less than before, you might not need it now. Then go talk to the doctor about how bad the medicine was making you feel, and hopfully he/she will help you find a better medicine.
I went to the hospital when, I was standing in the snow with no shoes and falling over. they called an ambulence. They checked for physical problems then took me to the mental ward. I signed myself in.
Its not fun. You would be better off taking medicine if you can get away without all the personal attention. But the personal attention is nice sometimes. There were times I wanted to go back to the hospital just to hang out.

P.S. I've tapered my medicine many times after the hospital's. The same thing happened each time; I would feel worse than taking the medicine. Then I would act weird and freak everyone out. Eventualy I would start taking medicine again. And life would go back to normal.
