So that's what's wrong...

{sigh}

I've be lethargic all day long, even going out and having a drive with the windows down didn't help (Hell, it took me nearly 2 hours get the energy up to do that).

Finally remembered, I accidentally took C's Rx's this morning. Aside the BC & Asthma meds, she's on 2x the blood pressure meds I'm on.

My BP is probably through the floor.

I did this once before and called the advice line at Kaiser and got connected to a Pharmacist. There is no danger. The BC is no problem, the asthma is long term build up type, so a single dose wont do anything, but to skip my regular BP tonight and tomorrow morning.

Ghad, I had doing stupid stuff like this.

My Accidental Overdose story

[nytshaed.livejournal.com]

I was in my early twenties, and in my chronic allergy phase (since cured with vitammins and eating LOTS of Garlic) and was used to taking Actifeds or Sudefeds, or ARMs every four hours. Well, we wer out of those, and my Mom offered me one of her Corricidan (I know I mangled the spelling on that) and that seemed to help, so I was taking those every four hours....

Well I came downstairs one afternoon after having had ANOTHER Sleepless night, more frequent than normal heart palpatations, no appetite and now my ears were ringing as well. I went to take a pill and my Mom, commented on how I had just taken one about four hours ago. I said, "Right, time to take another..." "Those are every TWELVE hours Lela," she told me. "have you been taking those every FOUR hours??" "Uh huh..."

Helps to read the damn label. Needless to say, I STOPPED taking them, and by the next night it had cleared my system, and I crashed and slept for 14 hours, then got up and pigged out.

Gotta pay attention when taking yer meds...

Stupid thing is I've done it before.

I usually keep a close eye on my meds.
