Moose, you're lucky they didn't make you drink a charcoal drink. Sometimes they do that even if the "overdose" isn't THAT dangerous. The reason is that they want to send a message that taking too many medications, beyond what's prescribed, shouldn't be done. Even if it isn't dangerous, it's clearly unwell behavior. I hope that you will discuss with the doctors what might have caused you to take all of those medications. Also know that combining medications CAN be dangerous. Many a person has died from combining things that shouldn't be combined...and/or in such quantities. Sometimes what might have been tolerated at one point, suddenly can't be tolerated.

Duely noted.

Yes I am still at the psych ER. I don't know if they're just waiting for a bed to open up or if I have to still talk with the Dr again even though I already did this morning. I'm so full and tired that I wish I could crash into sleep.

I just had some juice after a nice nap in this weird chair. I want another blanket and maybe a pillow.

They are making you stay in a chair? Yuck. When I got stuck in a psych ER we at least had gurney's to lay on.They weren't super comfortable but at least they laid down flat.

I'm glad you got some sleep.

I bet they'd give you another blanket and pillow. That's a pretty easy request.

Thinking of you, Moose. Hope things settle down quickly for you.
