I don't know what the heck was wrong with me last night, I wound up taking my risperidone twice. I wasn't trying to OD, I just forgot that I took it and took it again about 2 hours later. Bad move. Instead of my normal 4 mg, that meant I got 8 mg which is a really high dose.

I feel really awful today - headache, nausea, some light flashes in my vision, and feeling like my brain is fighting with itself. I called telehealth to make sure I didn't need to go to a hospital, and they said I'd be ok in 24 hrs.

But I am seriously never doing that again. I just went out and bought one of those pill organizer boxes, Meds are going in that from now on.

Welcome to the little old lady medicine box club! Not only am I president, I'm also a member I got a giganto one so I only have to fill it every 4 weeks. Most of my meds are on 90-day refills so that works out.
Thanks for this!
