Hi sweetie...see you struggling with this...is this going to bring Lars back...or give an explanation where he ended up/can be found?
Yes because side effects can become permanent. My theory is that Lars is alive but needs ongoing care for the sequelaes, so living under a new identity not far from where he was last seen. See Latulip case.
I believe that Lars' case is similar to Latulip.

By knowing more about its effects, we can target the research. Ex: nephrotoxic meds -> search among kidney patients association in the area where last seen etc...
I don't know if I made myself understand.
and surely any overdose of anti-biotic would make him vomit, have dizziness, feeling faint FIRST etc.
Not necessarily, and that's the problem.
I have psych sequelaes from congenital brain injury, and even a small intoxication leads to a full blown psychiatric meltdown straight away. Including somatic only meds.
What you say is mostly true, but with strong brain/psych symptoms before taking the med and the assault, I say that the psychiatric meltdown straight away is to be kept until otherwise proven.
ETA: my psychiatrist dx me as slow metaboliser of meds 2-3 years ago, but most patients don't know that they are slow metaboliser.
So, when pt has intense side effect with a very low dose, it can easily baffle doctors. Also, per my psychiatrist, slow metabolisers are more at risk to get serious atypical side effects even at a low dose.
I doubt just taking an extra 500mg would blow him into immediate psychiatric meltdown. The overdose wasn't that high, and if on the rare off-chance it was affecting him badly, he'd probably be vomiting, diarrhoea and losing consciousness first.
Actually, he had psych symptoms before and highly likely to have brain injury after the assault.
In such case, a small overdose can lead to confusion without the physical effects: you get the psych meltdown straight away.
If there wasn't any hint of brain/psych involvement before, I'd completely agree with you.
I intoxicated myself accidentally with antihistamine and steroids, it was a small overdose and I got only the full blown psychiatric meltdown. It was treatable at home, fortunately.
A small overdose with brain injury can lead to full blown psych symptoms right away unfortunately. Yes, a small overdose can have such effects straight away.
It depends how you metabolise meds. Slow metabolisers have more side effects at a very small dosage, and the side effects can be very serious with even a below dosage recommended.
That's why I think that a small overdose as it was can have led to a full blown psychiatric meltdown.
What is inexcusable here is that
German police didn't even seek advice to Poison Control Center. Bulgaria police, let go of it.
But German police can and should have done it as
in Germany, it's a general public service. Heck, it can be done by a citizen without any specific professional credentials!!
In Bulgaria, only healthcare professionals can access to Poison Control Center. See list from the WHO I linked earlier.
What's baffling is that LE for homicides in Germany (BKA, as I posted earlier) didn't even know about Poison Control Center existance.
I find it even more inexcusable for
German police: they could had called Poison Control in Germany and send the info in Bulgaria. They don't need specific powers for asking Poison Control opinion: they call their nearest center and say "I have a mother reporting to me that son took 1500mg of Cefzil, 2 at 10pm the night before and one at 6am, and she reports that her son did X, Y, Z which is very out of son's character. What's your opinion?" After the call, they report the info to LE in Bulgaria.
If I can call Poison Control Center in Germany as a citizen, there is no reason why German police can not do it themselves!!!! They don't even need to involve forensics at all for such call.
Since the med is now out of the market in most EU countries, I did exactly this with South Africa and got the answer by Whatsapp. I got even info which I didn't know, the infection leading to a full blown psychiatric meltdown, and from Bloemfontein Poison Control Center headperson.
And I'm only a member of the public, mind you!
Yes, I did what German police should have done as soon as Sandra reported her son missing in Germany. I'm still baffled by citizens having to do this job, and complicated because med is now out of most EU countries, when it is German LE's job!
Then, I reported everything to the Whatsapp number the family put in place and by email.
If I could do it, German police could had done it in 2014 and without as much hassle as nowadays when med is out of the market. Geeee!
I am still baffled about this one.
