on accident.

I have set my cell phone alarm to beep every day at 11 am to remind me totake my Effexor XR (187.5 mgs). Yesterday was so very, very hectic. When my alarm went off I silenced it and continued what I was doing. When I realized I forgot to take my meds, I immediately took it, around 11:30ish.

I left work around 1:30 and arrived home at 2:30. I was doing my assignment for school and I realized I hadn't taken my medication, so I took it (187.5 mgs).

A few hours pass and I start feeling flush and hot. My head feels numb and tight. I start thinking about what I ate. As I start thinking, I remember taking my Effexor at work and then again when I got home.

I started freaking out. My usual dose is 187.5, and I took 375mgs. I called the Dr's office and spoke to the nurse who could sense my fear. She told me that I would feel extremely tired or extremely wired. I was wired, which quickly turned to tired. She advised me NOT to take my regular dose today, and resume my usualy schedule on Sunday.

Right now I am feeling tired. My eyes feel big. I must have slept pretty well because I really dont remember much.

Has this ever happened to anyone?
