Anyway, the psych people said to go ahead and go back on the Parnate and bupe, so I did and I'm doing better now. But god, some of that time after I woke up in the hospital was hell.

They were giving me morphine for a while, but I was sedated with a whole bunch of other stuff at the time so it didn't come in particularly handy as an AD.
