****. I literally just accidentally took a 2nd dose of rexulti, not remembering that I took it two hours prior. I took 8mg instead of 4mg, and well, 4mg is the max dosage.
I hope nothing bad happens. My pdoc's assistant says that your breathing can slow down a lot and make it difficult to breathe at all. And apparently it can make you fall asleep at the wheel if you're driving. (I've never been sedated by Rexulti, though.)
Thankfully I'm at my own apartment, albeit by myself. I hope I don't get breathing problems. And I don't want to take a klonopin to relax myself because then I'll get sedated and might fall asleep and die from not breathing. I also don't want anymore drugs in my system at this time!!
But I guess in other "good" news, my grandma made it through the night. She's been off her psych meds, though, and she's giving the hospital all sorts of problems. Hallucinating, very delusional, refusing to sleep (because she's not tired), extremely talkative, trying to escape by taking her oxygen OUT, etc..
I love her dearly, but I fear that she's accidentally going to kill herself, since she CANNOT breathe well without the oxygen. There's a reason the hospital is giving it to her and a reason she's in the bed. I blame the nursing home for this. They let her get really bad before deciding, "oh, hey... I guess we should send her to the hospital... right? Or we could wait another day and let things get worse and worse."
