This is the first I'm hearing about anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis; what a strange and scary condition. If you don't mind the prying, I'm curious about some things.

I noticed you said in another comment that you were treated with antipsychotics in the psych ward. Would you say they had any effect in lessening the symptoms? My intuition says no, since I'm not aware of any conventional antipsychotics that interact with NMDA receptors directly(mostly they act on dopamine and serotonin receptors), but psychopharmacology is tricky that way...

And, another thing. Have you ever tried dissociative drugs(like ketamine, PCP, DXM), and if so, how similar would you say your experience was to those drug experiences? Of course, feel free to tell me to fuck off if you don't want to discuss that in a public forum.
