Ativan is so trippy.

When I took too much of it at once (by accident, I swear!!), it made me really high. I was getting auditory hallucinations and all that crap. I also couldn't keep my balance because my vision was all out of whack! I was literally tripping over my own feet and even tripping over floor tiles!

Even though I was high, I didn't get any euphoria. I just got all the negative effects of being high.

Never again!!! (And yes, it really was a mistake. I wouldn't do it again even if I *did* get euphoria.)

Have you ever accidentally (or intentionally) taken more of your BP meds than you should? What happened?

I once took my night meds in the morning and to make that even worse I was also taking Norco after having had surgery. I was on a huge dose of Seroquel at the time and so I had about 3 times the recommended dose in 12 hours. I called my pdoc (who was, of course, off that day) and then spoke to another pdoc who did a suicide screen and then told me to sleep it off and no meds that night. It was rough. I was barely awake by the time I got off the phone and I called the second I realized what I did, which was about the time I set down the pill box. I was very, very relaxed or some time.

I now keep my Am and PM pill boxes far away.

I've been so depressed where I've taken my night meds in the day just to sleep the day away. And yes I always double up on my PRN because my tolerance has gotten up there. I don't get high, I just get calm.

I took extra Latuda I had left on purpose after I was.weemed off of it to get rid of some hallucinations and calm me down and stuff, stopped.once I ran out...

Extra ativan.

Double vision, hallucinations (like I thought there were other people in the room with me, but I was alone), couldn't walk, kept on having black out moments and had to jerk myself out of them.

Mostly weird hallucinations though, like things levitating, and cords moving like snakes, and doorknobs that I thought were faces coming towards me.

I took more on purpose.

NEVER take more ativan on person. I did not expect this would happen. My husband wanted to call an ambulance on me and everyone assumed I had OD'd when I hadn't.

I took extra kolonopin when I was manic out of my mind. I did it just to calm down. I didn't take too much, maybe 1.5mg instead of .5 mg. I did that for a whole weekend until I ran out, and then the dr wouldn't give me more because I'd been abusing it.

I overdosed on klonopin and trazodone once as a suicide attempt. That didn't go well for me.

I used to abuse Advil as a form of self harm. I would take ten or twelve. I didn't get high, I just knew I was hurting myself and that's what I was trying to do. I did that when I was a teenager.

I also abused caffeine pills for about a year. I would take three or four at a time so I could get high of sorts. I was too much of a scaredy cat to try actual hard drugs.

I accidentally double dosed on my Effexor. I felt much better. So I had my doctor increase the dose.

Yeah, I've never been someone who's tried hardcore drugs either. I'm also afraid of what could happen, especially since one of my cousins did hardcore drugs and (fortunately) ended up in rehab instead of in jail or in a coffin. His addiction problems scared me based on what I saw happened to him. (I was scared; I thought: "What if I don't die? Then I'm going to end up like him, and I don't want that.")

Too much Ativan and Klonopin have affected my balance and made me extremely tired. There's been a time I accidentally took too much Lamictal, and I had a really bad headache. With Seroquel, when I ran out, my doctor gave me samples of the Seroquel XR. It was awful. I thought it would feel similar to my regular Seroquel, but it was a higher dose and made me feel drunk the next day. I barely made it to work without getting into an accident, and I felt like I had to excuse my demeanor at work by saying I was "sick" when really the XR made me so out of it.
