Yesterday I woke up feeling like I was DRUNK.... I don't drink. I could barely walk, my head was spinning.... I hated the way I was feeling and "IT" was a very very prevalent consistant thought.

OK. This confirms it, still mixed. you also got quite manic. It is excellent that you are able to write - that is a good sign, hopefully by now your speech is also more coherent. Your writing
is coherent. The "IT" thoughts are a problem, and a bunch of mania plus that, plus those feelings of malaise can get you in bad trouble. Moving on...

I keep my medicine in a daily dispenser thingy.... My AD (Cymbalta) was not in the case. I don't know now if I forgot to take it.... or if I double dosed....the AD and forgot the Seroquel.

if you double dosed the Cymbalta it could certainly rev you up like that. And cause you to feel drunk.

I have taken the medicine today as prescribed and am feeling a bit better...

Ok, this is positive, and you were smart not to try to self-adjust since you aren't sure what happened. Do continue as prescribed, do not change an iota unless you hear from your pdoc. Still, i would like to hear you doing a lot better ... that would be a lot safer.

I didn't call doc... was too afraid...

awwwww, hon, i'm sorry. i know how that can be coz i screwed up my meds totally right after i got stabilized as an inpatient.
i know. but no fear. no fear.
right now, it is not so important what happened, but that something DID go awry with your dosing, and that you got more manic as well as some weird symptoms.
upshot... if tomorrow
- you are feeling giddy still (that drunk feeling)
OR
- you have not slowed down SIGNIFICANTLY and still have pervasive thoughts of "IT"
do please call and talk to your pdoc. one of the symptoms of mania is DISTRACTABILITY lol!!! so i think he will understand... and if he doesn't - point that out to him like i just did to you.
i'm thinking he
might have you take a smidgeon more seroquel even for just a couple of days or until the mania is quieted. but even if not, it will be best for him to know, especially about "IT" in this situation.
It's OK that you made a boo boo with your meds. Even on our best days, we don't do everything perfectly, let alone on days like you are living now!!!
i'm so sorry this happened. i hate that this happened. but stuff like this...
... happens.
it can happen to you
it can happen to me
it can happen to everyone
eventually
-
YES...
It Can Happen
hang in there, and please try to check in with us tomorrow and let us know how you are doing.
