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.

It sounds to me like being overheated caused you to have some cognitive "blurriness." I had a time a few weeks ago, I was writing here on the forum, and without realizing it I was extremely overheated. I was writing that I didn't know what was wrong with me because I felt so spacey and disoriented. Eventually it dawned on me that I was overheated.
The cold shower and much water was smart.
