I think you should stay in bed. You should have strep throat. That's why he took a swab of your throat -- to see if you had strep. So stay in bed, and get some much needed rest. Obviously you're sick! Stay there. REST and drink LOTS of liquids. That's an order. I'll send you my bill in the morning. LOL Hugs, Lee

Rest Shayne...if things aren't getting better swing back to the hosp. and let them know what you're telling us. Look after yourself, right?...take care and come back here if you need to talk...someone will be here for you...for sure.

How high is your temp? If it's really high it would make you hallucinate and might be dangerous to you also. You might belong in the hospital. I hope you can get some antibiotics to knock this out. I'm glad you are not alone there. Somethings are better seen in the Emergency Room. They figure if you're well enough to go to the doctor's office it's not that bad.

I'm not prone to hallucinations but when I had a bad fever that would never break, I had semi hallucinations, like when I closed my eyes I saw sudden images of violence or other things in exact detail. And I could not fall asleep, when I started to I woke up all startled.

Also had real visual hallucinations when I had a bad reaction to Lamictal. Then I felt like total crap, almost flu like, bad body pains, sore throat, and I saw weird things that I knew weren't there but I still saw them. They didn't understand at first it was an allergy that could have killed me, they thought I had a benign virus.

I don't attribute this to mental illness at all since I never hallucinated when physically healthy.

I definitely confuse illness/a cold/the flu/bad sinus etc with being horribly depressed. It's hard to not be depressed when you feel sick, I just take it to the next level and believe I'm relapsing/I get suicidal.

As for hallucinations. I only had one experience after being on buspar for a couple days. For someone who regularly hallucinates, I don't know what the implications are -- whether or not being physically ill can cause your brain to respond that way.
