This past weekend, my son was at the local fair. He was with his girlfriend, and bought a pop at the vendor. He took a few sips, then set it down on a picnic table to talk to some friends that were behind him He turned around from where his pop was, leaving it on the table, and talked to his friends for a few minutes. Then he turned back, grabbed his pop, and started to drink it, he noticed that it tasted funny, but he said he wasn't going to waste 3.00, it probably was just flat or something, he thought. Within about 20 minutes, he said he was feeling agitated, and angry, then nervous. So they decided to leave. He said that the lights at the fair were bothering him. He was driving home, and then a car came behind him, and all of a sudden from the lights he started crying. His girlfriend had no clue what was going on.
He got to her house, and by this time, he couldn't lift his arms, or even get his seatbelt off. He was saying random things, but not hallucinating. He was afraid of everything, the sound of the dog barking, the sound of the door shutting and the lights bothered his eyes. His breathing was funny. So, they met me at the er.
At 12:30am they drew blood for the 10 main drugs that it could have been, and it all came back negetive. They gave him ativan and sent him home. He had terrible stomach pain and a headache, as well.
They gave him something for the stomach and it relieved it.
So, we went home, he proceeded to cry most of the night. In the morning after he woke up, he felt better. Then the man next store started to mow his lawn, and the noise freaked him out.
Took him back to the clinic because he couldn't stop shaking.
The doctor said he acts like pcp, because he couldnt' even track her fingers and his eyes would bounce back and forth, and he couldn't focus on her fingers at all. But the pcp test they did at the hospital came back negetive. So did ecstasy and all the rest of the top 10.
He is still a bit jittery today, but much better. My question and wonder is this. How soon does it take for something to actually get in the bloodstream? They checked his blood at the hospital- 2 hours after he started feeling strange. Has all the drug gotten into his blood stream by then? The doctor ran more bloodwork the next day- which would have been about 12 hours after the time this all happened.
We just want to find out what this was, because we have a suspicion on who may be responsible for this. However, there can be no police report, if we can't find the drug that was responsible for this.
Any help would be appreciated. I feel like we are looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack.
