Yep !
A member here sent me a PM recently and they were in a mess, flu, chest crap , went to a walk in clinic and was given 2 shots .. one rochephin Antibiotic (fine) and one a steroid ( not fine) and a script for antibiotics as per the norm. ..
Had that provider "thought" to include the patients psych illness and medication , that person would have avoided the Steroid as it "usually " sends Bipolars into mixed or Mania... So this person had to not only recover and deal with that nasty bronchitis upper respitory crap , they also had to tame Bipolar back down , because the provider wasn't educated enough on Bipolar .
The member here didn't have a clue that the shot is what destabilized them so quickly. Know they know for the future, but meanwhile its major suckage.
