In my case the doctors decided that my AP med was too high and was dampening my mood so it was cut almost in half.
I knew that I was in for a rough ride and that I would have to be patient and wait it out. I had a constant fever for over three months. I sweated like a maniac all day. I passed out and lived home alone and I had crippling migraines with blurry vision. I experienced itching all over my body and by luck my hay fever tablets quelled it. I purchased my own diazepam that settled the fever for a short spell barely two hours. So I knew it was my brain and body dealing with the ket withdrawal. I went to the doctor and I explained my situation. My temperature was indeed very high and my pulse was much quicker than "My normal" He gave me one ibuprofen and a paracetamol and condescendingly said " ah there you go,feeling all better? Now how many paracetamol a day are you allowed to take?"
I felt like saying one: I can read the packet and two: pain killers don't do much when you take psych meds high enough to a kill a thorough bred stallion!
Apparently I had a virus. The only times in my life I.have ever had a virus is coincidentally when I have been in hospital. And the ward has a 100% cleanliness record hitting you right in the face when you go to reception. I won't rant, I am tired of being angry and being treated like I am ignorant and dumb. Mental illness does not discriminate.
