Initially Patient feels throbbing vein in frontal lobe (left hemisphere) lasting 1 hour.

Then feeling out of sorts, uncharacteristically anxious, restless can't sleep.

Following morning. patient extremely thirsty despite drinking plenty and not consuming any salt. perfectly clear urine. Patient very anxious, reports feeling a bit strange. Reports having cognitive problems
Starts feeling intermittent head pain in left forehead/temple.

8 days on. Patient has consciously consumed very little salt, yet stil very thirsty despite drinking plenty of water. Patient reports headache in brain areas each time they consume salt. reports headpain in orbito frontal cortex, left hemisphere. describe this headache feeling as *tissue withering away* . Feels anxious with problems thing

Patient believes she may have been spiked in a setting with student Psychiatrist, Neurologist, etcetc.

I ruled out head injury with scan/motor testing, past history of patient is exempliry. I'm now start to believe this patients claim of being drugged. but what drug?

Any opinions?

Need an actual history and physical.

Please tell me this person didn't really get a CT.
 
Psychosomatic. Tell them its salt retention and Give them 6.25 htcz 3 times a week.

-disclaimer: I have no idea what I'm talking about
 
"What drug could be causing this?"

"Here are the drugs they took"

Yeah...
 
Serious answer: if it's lasted for 8 days, the chances of it being drug related are VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY small.
