Nothing serious. I have accidentally taken my evening medications in the morning (picked the wrong pill box). That was a bit rough given how sedating my evening medications were/are, but not too bad. The worst consequences I've had were mostly related to drinking too much alcohol with my medications. That resulted in some pretty scary situations (blackouts, profuse vomiting, major feelings of illness).
Once my husband accidentally took MY evening meds (wrong pill box) instead of his morning medications. His morning meds were just an antidepressant and a stimulant (he doesn't have bipolar), plus multi-vitamin. My evening medications were sedating moodstabilizers, antipsychotics, and a benzo. He almost passed out at work. His workmate called me to pick him up because he couldn't drive. When he got home he slept about 16 hours straight. If I had taken my evening meds in the morning, I'd just be very drowsy for a handful of hours. Honestly, I have no clue why he didn't notice they were my medications. He usually takes three pills. My evening meds at that time were numerous pills, including Lithium, Tegretol XR, Seroquel XR, Geodon, Klonopin, and Propranolol. I scratch my head!
What was your hardest time adjusting to a medication?
