I'm kicking myself
I accidentally took a sleep pill when I mistook it for well butrin. I realized it looked a little different but I took it any way only later to find out it was a sleep aid.
Now I'm groggy and drowsy which I hate. It doesn't help a depressed mood either.
This isn't the first time I mistook pills. One time I mistook jet alert for Tylenol cause the bottles looked similar and apparently I don't read. And I overdosed on it cause I usually need about 4 Tylenol at a time.
Do I never learn my lessons?

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
Can you still take your Welbutrin ?
Be sleepy, but not depressed ?
I'm slowly starting to wake up now so it's ok. But I can't believe I did that. It probably messed up my sleep cycle for tonight.
I would get confused with one of mine as two look the same and it would be easy to take the wrong one at the wrong time
I hope that's the worst thing that happens to you TODAY ! Its not a deal breaker, or stupid -
a simple mistake - LOL I've done it, took night time meds and rested all day.... Tomorrow CAN be much better : )
be kind. forgive. learn. grow.
I personally have never taken the wrong medication. Paranoia actually has its benefits (;
I have, however, noticed a pattern of repeatedly saying something that makes me look like a retard to people I meet. I guess it is a form of trying to see if they are accepting of me, but it backfires again and again. You would think, on the fiftieth time, I would learn to project a good image of myself or at least one that is better than the one I do.
But no, I don't. It will take a while of kicking myself before this gets better. Lots of us make the same mistake repeatedly. Just stay alive, ok?
You are NOT a rusty door hinge...You are a doorknob !
( sorry Mojo ...couldn't help it )
Once my mother took the dogs worm medicine mistaking it for cough syrup. Get wormed and treat cold symptoms at the same time.
I usually forget whether or not I've taken them.. I hope you rest well and wake up not so low sweetie..x
