Sad thing is.... I DO keep all my meds in one place. well, all my extra meds. I actually keep meds two places, depending on on use:
  • "active" meds - daily use, frequent use, plus lorazepam are in a box at bedside.

  • everything else - extra packs, occasional use, leftovers not in current use but which could be needed, are all in a single med drawer.
I was just so "sure" i didn't have an extra pack. I did not look in the med drawer.

at least...... I don't remember doing so. if i did, i miust have been so convinced i didn't have any that i didn't look thoroughly at all. They were to one side, but the 300's come in a good sized box - not easy to miss!!!



oh well... silly brain trix i suppose. silly rabbit. trix are for kids.

I wonder if the neurontin is sedating you...it is sometimes used as a mood stabilizer, I was on it a good while. so you are taking basically 2 mood stabilzers. depakote and neurontin.
Definately could be affecting your mood.

gabapentin is DEFINITELY sedating me ROFLOLOL... it seems to "peak" at weird times but... predictably so. anyway. that's the part i still need to get used to. i'd got used to the 300's. these are causing higher peaks and wipe me out sometimes. i'm also not getting enough sleep which doesn't help.

mood stabilizer... HA! been there done that... took 1800mg on top of full dose of carbamazepine for a while it din' do jack squat.... other than make me groggy/foggy icko.... but still hypo enough to drive on it!!!

oh i see you think it might be depressing me? no i've been on this dose now for over a month. i screwed up the zoloft bad is what happened... and well i don't wanna talk about it. had a situation. anyway. i am back on 100 mg zoloft now but am not back to par.

Don't be so hard on yourself. It takes more than a few days to get
straightened out when you mess up a medicine.

I know what that means.

So give yourself a little longer, it will get better.

Default Dear Donna

hey i'm not being hard on myself. not this time. i just couldn't explain. even just the zoloft mess ... i'm long winded. that happens. but it isn't the only thing and the other i won't get into here.

just don't worry. there is a question of time here beyond the Zoloft... don't ask... (i won't explain).

Good Waves

Just checking. I know when I mess up my meds. Or Derrick's I get very
hard on myself.

It wasn't until I heard Derrick doing it to himself. When it should have
been me that was mad not him. Because I ask him to do it. So I don't
have to mess his up.

But I am supposed to double check his for him. But he has gotten to
doing such a good job. Unless he ask I don't always.
