So I was a chaperone on my son's kindergarten field trip to the pumpkin patch last week.
I usually take lamictal 25mg in the am and pm, and seroquel xr 50mg before bed (for sleep and anxiety).
That morning, not paying attention to what I was doing, I accidentally took the seroquel with my lamictal.
Turned out to be a great idea, actually, as my usual anxiety attacks that would have accompanied dealing with 22 screaming kids on a bus was totally flattened out. Also that would typically have been a trigger for a later hypo episode, which was also avoided.
Wishing I had taken an extra dose today, as well, actually... kids started freaking out immediately after school today and I pretty much shut down and went hypo. Scrubbed pans, washed dishes, cleaned out under the kitchen sink. Finally grabbed a dark chocolate pudding mousse in desperation (chocolate seems to help) along with an O'Doul's amber (i haven't had a real drink in 2 months - not since the manic episode when I got drunk and had a one-night stand). Today might be the first time I actually miss alcohol. *sigh*
