Sometimes my own stupidity amuses me.

So my back started spasming like it does every night, but tonight it's more painful and I decided to bite the bullet and take the percocet, and hopefully get some sleep. I take the last pill toss the empty bottle in the trash.

Now here I am an hour later still in excruciating pain and getting up to go to the bathroom for the 5th time.

Then it dawns on me what I did. I had one perc left and one water pill left. The last time I took the perc was before we went to KY. I took the bottle out of the bag of meds. When I went to take it this evening I grabbed bottle with the water pill out of the bag.

Now I am still in pain, wide awake and I gotta pee. I can't help but laugh at myself for this one.

Oh my, Legz. Hope you managed to get some rest.

I know that was a Difficult night! You are NOT ALONE! A couple days ago, I got my moms meds out in one hand...mine in the other. I took HERS!!!!
They were all for Schizophrenia/Alzh/Blood pressure....Thank GOD I realized this as soon as they went down! I ran to the bathroom sticking fingers down my throat...Drank tons of water to make sure I got them all.
I counted what came up & they all did...but I was still a bit Whacked all day.

I have been know, dang FAMOUS for what is now coined "Dummy Tricks"
This one was an eye opener for me & now get the meds at dif. times

unfortunately I am still awake. though not for long. It's been almost 9 hours since the water pill incident And I swear my spinal cord is twisting and twitching inside of my spine. Called the doc. She of course recommended percocet and ibuprofin combined.

Took them both together it's been an hour aside from a tummy ache and hot flashes like you would not believe, not feeling much different.

Ohhh, I hope you get some relief soon! What a rotten way to start a day. Hopefully you will get a good nap in. Take care, I am praying ya thru

My dad takes high blood pressure medication a couple of times a day. He's done this since I was a small child. (I'm going to be 40 in two months)

So, about 7 or 8 years ago, he got up to take his pill, and couldnt find the bottle in the bathroom. He didnt turn the light on, but used the light from the green nightlights in the bathroom to find the bottle.

He took his pill and went to work. About 40 minutes into his work day, he started falling asleep. (he works in the medical field) He was so tired, he couldnt figure out why.

After a bit, he decided he was going to go home sick because he was just having so much trouble staying awake. He drove home, and made it without falling asleep or rolling off the road.

He got home, went into his bathroom and out of curiousity he looked at the bottle that he got his pill from that morning. It was the bottle of phenobarbitol that we used to give to our epileptic poodle that we had. (the dog was gone by that time, some how the bottle never got tossed)


My dad threw the bottle away and then went to take a nap. He's really lucky that they didnt have a surprise drug test at work that day. He'd have flunked it if they'd handed him the cup to pee in.

Now he turns the lights on in the bathroom when he's getting dressed for work, and he keeps all his medications in the kitchen in one spot and double checks the bottles.

hey if nothing else I am entertaining. Like the man said "I like that shirt it really brings out the blue on your arms."

So it's 2:30, 2 perc and 4 ibupr.later I am still awake! The good news is thanks to the water pill I believe I have lost at least 5 of the lbs I gained with the ivsm. Doc called me in more perc. She told me to come in monday. Said she got the results of the MRI but didn't have them with her at home, but there is definitely new activity.

Time will tell, I am not going to worry about it. Not like we can do anything to change it.

Pain meds like Percocet and Darvocet keep me awake. I've always heard that they make you drowsy....but not me!!
