Please don’t make my mistake.

I had surgery done on my jaw and were given some pretty strong painkillers and muscle relaxant medications and I swore the doctor told me NOT to take them with my psych medications. I had no intentions of not taking my psych meds, in my theory I would take my pain medications then wait a while and take my psych medications. It so happened with the pain medications I totally forgot to take my psych medications.

Time went by so fast what I thought what were a few days turned into almost 2 weeks. I knew I wasn’t feeling “right” per say, but I blamed it on tired of being in pain and having to take all the pain medications. Two days ago my daughter knocked over an empty glass and it was like a flash of lighting I was up screaming, trying to clean up the spill (nothing there to clean up as it was an empty glass). I remember the more everyone tried to settle me and explain there was nothing there the more frustrated I got. I remember being so frustrated and everyone crowding my space…after that - I woke up in bed feeling like I just had the weirdest dreams.

My family told me I went hysterical pushing everyone away from me and trying to hide anywhere I could fit, and yelling at everything to stop chasing me or giving me “that look”. My husband told me he finally got me cornered in the closet where he attempted to give me my rescue medications. He said I broke out in laughter saying he looked like he was trying to convince a dog to take a treat. He finally convinced me to humor him and just be a dog and take the treat. Apparently it worked. Cuz I woke up in bed several hours later.

Some days I wish he wouldn’t tell me about my behavior when I’m like that but we made a promise to each other to “tell everything”. At first I was feeling really stupid – but then I kind of laughed and said – “well, good reminder to take my medications”

Thanks for sharing that, Kymaro.
It really is quite scary how easily we can lose track of things, and end up in deep water.
I hope you are ok now.

Doing better, back on medications (day 2) and knowing a few more days I will be back on track. I finally got the perfect combination for me - know if I would just stick to it.
