> I thought anything with tyramine was the danger? What does a benzo do for a crisis? And why a toxicologist if a reaction? Phillipa
I dont know why a toxicolgist knew as much as he did,but all i can say is i felt very much on my own with the entire staff in regard to the MAOI,fearing the doc even took my advice when i PLEADED with her to run it past a search engine -MAOI- before she used anything on me.
Prior to him arriving,the basic treatment was the use of a big warm mug of ACTIVATED CHARCOAL,YUMMY,imagine drinking wet dirt,and some cooling.I was pretty much left alone from there to go in and out of conscionous with my family beside me.
When i came to for the last time,there he sat,not sure for how long prior,he gave me a good "talking too" which i deserved,and he seemed to know fully all the details i hoped the docs from the start knew.My brother says he overheard him after making a call to i suppose his office stating "yess we had a possable fatal reaction here" but there really wasnt much to be done anyway,he told me what i knew,told me i was irresponsable for what i did,which i knew,and that was that.Then the lovly bills of over 2 grand for a night in ICU.
