I did the stupidest thing yesterday.......I was outside in 95 degree heat all afternoon at my nieces' birthday party. I was overheated and dehydrated so I got home, took a cold shower, filled my pill box and started drinking a ton of water. I couldn't fall asleep but assumed it was because of all the water I was drinking/trips to the bathroom. I had a rather upset stomach this morning but I thought it was because of not sleeping and a reaction to the heat.

I just took my meds and discovered I forgot my meds last night. So my stomach was upset from withdrawals. I guess it works out as my pharmacy has once again (every month) lost my clozapine labs and my pdoc's office must not have gotten them resent today. I only had one more night's worth so was going to have to split it to be sure I didn't totally run out. Now I had enough to take tonight and still have a full dose tomorrow which hopefully gets the labs in to the pharmacy in time to get them filled before I run out. Usually I notice with time to spare and this month I didn't so running out was my own responsibility. I guess now that shouldn't happen.

I can't believe I filled the box and then didn't take it though. It never even occurred to me that this was why I didn't sleep and didn't feel good.
