The other day I somehow managed to take my night meds in the morning instead of my morning meds. This included 100mg of Seroquel. After about half an hour I started to feel very very dizzy and sleepy and couldn't figure out why. Pushed through to showering and dressing, getting ready for work. Then I realized what I did. I could barely stand up (I CANNOT take Seroquel during the day), but got in the car anyway because can't afford to miss a day of work (I'm a freelancer, and only get paid if I work). But on the road, I nearly drove into the ditches on either side of it a couple of times, turned around at a nearby gas station and went home.

I emailed management and made up something I don't quite remember except something about having taken a sleeping pill by mistake. I was falling down out of it, but had to send them something.

I felt like such an idiot, so stupid, so down on myself! How had I not looked at the pills and noticed what I was taking??? I told my mother about it -we're close- and then she emailed me that I should never be taking a mediation that does that to me at any time of the day. I didn't respond and luckily she hasn't brought it up during subsequent conversations; don't want to get in to that whole explanation.
