I've had better mornings. I had a bad panic attack and the pdoc has me take Klonopin, hydroxyzine (25 mg) and low-Seroquel (25 mg, up to 2 pills) if I think I need it. I skipped the Seroquel and opted for the Klonopin and hydroxyzine, which can make me groggy, but not as bad as the Seroquel. Unfortunately, I had just picked up a bottle of Trazodone (50 mg pills) from the pharmacy yesterday and accidently put it with my emergency panic meds. I ended up taking 50 mg Trazodone instead of the hydroxyzine. I went for a walk, and it was like walking through soup. I got home and started getting beyond sleepier than ever with the panic meds even when I opt to take 2 low dose Seroquel pills. After some time dragged by, and I wasn't better, I knew I'd made a medication mistake. Checked the bottles and figured out what likely happened. OMG, it took all morning and then some to wear off, and I probably took the Trazodone around 6 AM. I have taken much larger doses of Trazodone in the past - up to 400, 450 mg, something like that, so I figured I wasn't in serious danger especially as I usually take 25 mg of the Trazodone at night to help with sleep (cut the 50 mg pill in half). Just waking up now. A bit nauseous and feeling run over by a truck from that ordeal. Don't think I can stomach lunch just yet, maybe I'll try around 1, 1:30 PM. I can barely stomach water right now.

I hate, hate, HATE being mixed. That's how my mind goes. I put stuff down, forget where I put it, don't read labels on medication for bad panic attacks (the pills all look different except Trazodone 50 mg and hydroxyzine 25 mg look similar from the manufacturers my pharmacy uses). I forget everything constantly. I ride a rollercoaster of ups and downs daily. Ugh.
