I wrote a bit about this in the daily check-in thread today. In summary I forgot my night meds last night. By midnight, I was feeling it--night sweats & chills: hot with the sheet on, cold with it off. Shaky, weak nauseous, got up around 3:30 AM still feeling horrible. Finally I couldn't take it any more, it was like being really sick without actually being sick. I just finally had to take the meds around 6:30 AM, slept nearly 4 hr and woke up fatigued but with my other symtoms gone.
I think it's missing the large nightly dose of Seroquel (300 mg) that did it, but who knows, could have been all of the medications combined.
That being said, I feel practically like a drug addict! I don't even take benzos or any Scheduled IV meds. It's horrible to accidentally miss one nightly dose and end up feeling so God-awful you just finally have to take the meds to function
I really shouldn't complain as the meds have kept me remarkably stable for over 6 months now, but feeling this way physically this morning was downright upsetting.
