Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Don't feel so bad - I've done that before too - usually due to being in a hurry or just having a fibro fog morning.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Taking the wrong meds is a common thing for Fibromites. With the fog that seems to roll in at the wrong times things like that happen. If you've taken the dose that you where to take today u wont need to take them again this evening. Finding another system might come to play by purchasing one of those pill boxes that have the times of day for the dosage on it. That way u can seperate ur meds and not have the problems of accidently taking the wrong ones, As for feeling sick and Dizzy, is there anyone there at work that could possibly drive you home? Or do you have someone to call that could possibly come and get you.? That might help cause I have a feeling feeling like that is going to make working hard. Hope things get better for you Love and Hugs Vicki/ Lady Vader CO Owner > I got up this morning and somehow, in my stupor, took one of my Doxepin, which I am supposed to take at night to help me sleep!

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Hee hee.. I thought this only happened to me; I've took my dog's anti-seizure medication a few times. I've accidentally taken my cat's thyroid medicine before (thank god ididn't give mine to her too) I noticed because the pill dissolved abit on my tongue and i after i swallowed it, i realized it wasn'tmine. And just last night I took two pill out of the bottle with theintention of putting one in my purse for later, and before i know it igulped them both down with my other meds. Welcome to brain fog. Imust appear so dingy to people who don't know me!-melanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 I am not worried about myself because mine are mostly supplements and homeopathy, but for my SON who is on three serious meds – one that is for night only – I am so afraid I’ll do something wrong. I do keep them all together I one spot but have them set up in a system that works for me. he takes pill#1 at 8 am and 2 of them at 8pm pill #2 at 8am, 4pm and 8pm and pill #3 at 8pm. My system would make no sense to you, but I’ve asked my hubster to be SURE he doesn’t mess up the order I have them sitting there. That way in the morning I KNOW I am not to grab pill bottle #3 on the far right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 put your meds in a pill container that has sun.-sat and morning noon evening and bedtime that's the only way i am sure i'm taking the right thing at the right time on the right day it's all crazy madness. gail > I got up this morning and somehow, in my stupor, took one of my Doxepin, which I am supposed to take at night to help me sleep!
