OP here on a different throwaway (because I already killed the session from yesterday). To be honest, I had to step away because of your comment.
It is incredibly frustrating that every single time I've shared the situation in, some jerk chimes in with their preconceptions, often without even reading the information put in front of them.
For instance my last trip to the E.R was the first in a few months. During triage the nurse confirms their existing records that Droperidol is the only medication I'm known to have a negative reaction to -- something that is documented, because multiple times in the same E.R, Droperidol has caused every muscle in my body to go twitchy. My chart indicates the Ativan/Reglan/Pepcid cocktail consistently works. P.A. comes into the room, first thing he asks is why I'm still smoking cannabis. He follows that up with orders for fluids and... Droperidol. Tells me he doesn't want to go the Ativan route because it can be habit forming and I'm already an addict. I spend the next couple hours twitching in addition to puking, until shift change, when the doctor who took over finally hit me with the right set of meds.
And yes, I've been trying to get the mental health assistance I need. Unfortunately it is spectacularly difficult to find help unless you're either rich or destitute.
Friend if my relatively harmless comment is triggering you to the point you are deleting accounts you should really not be participating in discussion forums on the internet. I hope you remove yourself from situations that upset you and focus on getting well. All the best and I actually really mean this as 1 human to another; I'm sorry you are going through what you are going through and I sincerely hope you get better.
