Abba, while it can be prescribed for any number of reasons, I have dealt with it in the Autism community. One kid I know takes it for his violent outburts which stem from his extreme OCD. He is on a daily liquid and he has quick disolving tablets to take when he gets out of control. It's a very potent medication. I can't believe your doc would pull you off of it cold turkey. You should discuss your withdrawl symptoms with him.

Please let us know what your doctor tells you so we can add it to our RxRolodex for future reference here at BWW General Hospital. You WILL call him or her today, won't you?

Feel better soon. There is a nasty flu bug going around, are you sure that is not what you have?

Do you mean the Norwalk Virus?

That is what the outbreak usually is on cruise ships. Although, obviously it comes from someone who gets on the ship and brings it on.
Norwalk virus infection is an intestinal illness that often occurs in outbreaks.

On the ships, they have purell hand sanitizer like every 5 feet.

Edit: Whoops- I just realized how off-topic that was. Back to the original issue...

yeah that's the one. the news said it was effecting people all over the country right now. although i'm not throwing up *knock on wood* and those viruses are usually a 24 hour thing, not a 9 day thing.
