So I'm off that totally which is a long-term goal but not until after I'm off klonopin. So I'm going to get back on that although I'll start at a 400 mg dose and go up if it seems ok. No wonder I've had weird nightmares (although oddly I've been sleeping through the night better this week).

I can't believe I've done this. I'm so careful with my meds and very rarely mess up. I do not want to have to go back to supervision with meds. When I did that before it was because of suicide risk but I know if I'm not safe for any reason I'll be monitored again. I understand this but I hated it and don't want to go back to that. My therapist and pdoc are both going to be unhappy.

Better get the gabapentin before I forget it again.

I am so sorry. I went through a period similar to that. To curb the main problem, I had to buy very different pill boxes for morning and night meds. One box you just open the boxes, the others, you push a piece of plastic to pop it open. Then, my vitamins, well, it's not a huge deal when I do take those. Mostly it's mixing up night & morning meds I do not want to do.

BTW, my math skills suck now too. An "A" in university calculus, and I can barely do basic math now.

I had a lamotrigine mix-up because places can't use the same manufacturer or decide to try a new one and mail order will use another manufacturer. I have 3 forms of lamotrigine 200 mg: large round white tablets, blue pentagons, and pink/peach caplets. Not one looks like the other. Picked up the Adderall today: now my 20 mg capsule (take 2 in the morning) is all blue instead of a brownish/tan color. It just keeps going on. Tizanidine they like to change between a couple of looks. Clonazepam 1 mg may be blue or green, etc., etc.
