Sleeping 22 hours a day for 2-3 days pre-admission and fever. I think the presumption was those sorts of symptoms merit careful investigation. Don’t remember if there were any particular test results that were remarkable. IIRC there weren’t.
Seeing as the modafinil was not prescription, and I’ve never heard of similar symptoms from others, it’s quite plausible my pills were just contaminated with some other substance. Still should probably update against taking modafinil without prescription, since this contamination risk is just as important as side-effect symptoms.
So you procured study drugs from an illicit source, took them, felt your body temp rise, stopped taking them, spent the next few days sleeping like crazy, and presented at the hospital?
Did they do a tox screen (meth and similar stimulants?)
I posted on another thread a while ago, according to dancesafe, counterfeit modafinil that’s actually low dose methamphetamine was being marketed in Berkeley. I’d expect this to be common, because the following reasoning is a ‘flash of inspiration’ I’d expect a drug dealer to have...
Nerds have money → nerds want study drugs → most study drugs are stimulants → pill press is cheap → meth is widely available → dilute the meth doses you’d usually sell to tweakers, put in pill press to look like study drug, sell to nerds.
That certainly sounds scary, but seems unlikely in my case. No tox screen, but also did not buy locally in Berkeley, and had previously used the pills without problem.

Brilliant plan right?
