Ugh. I accidentally took one of my night 300 mg. Seroquel pills this morning with Lamictal, Klonopin, and propanolal (usual morning meds). I'm sure it doesn't help that I took one last night as prescribed.

I went for a walk this morning and had the feeling that something was wrong at the start but went anyway. During the walk, I saw 4 trees in an area that has 2 trees for about 5 seconds. I put it down to the effect of the street lights and blinking since it was dark out. Later, I thought I saw a dark figure of a man hide behind a tree in front of me during my walk. I doubt he was real in hindsight. Anyway, that was enough to turn me around to walk in the other direction, and I noticed I was getting clumsy, and that's when I remembered I took a 300 mg Seroquel accidentally this morning. I was going to keep on walking, but suddenly my right earbud stopped working. I couldn't get it to work, and one thing that drives me crazy when I walk is if one side of the earbuds stops working. I finally made an intelligent decision to come home. (I did check the earbud later, and it still is not working on the one side, so that really happened.) I have never hallucinated before except in the hospital after major surgery while on morphine and all kinds of medication.

Now, I'm sleepy, but I'm too agitated to sleep. I have laid down and tried to sleep and can't. I'm still clumsy, and typing this post is challenging me when I'm usually an extremely good typist. I called my pdoc's cell phone finally, but it went straight to voicemail. I left a message telling him I took the extra Seroquel & to call me back about what to do about it. Hopefully, I hear from him soon. I am supposed to go to a birthday party this afternoon for one of my nieces and one of my nephews and wonder if I should stay home and if I do, can my husband and daughter still go and will I be OK at home alone?
The party is at my parents' house, roughly a 1.5 hr. drive from home.

I cannot believe I did this again. I took night meds accidentally last month too, and that was the first time I ever did it, and I have been on psych meds over 20 years. Maybe something else I'm on is causing me to be forgetful about what type of pills I put in my pill boxes and what I am taking each morning?
