I was just looking at my med cabinet wondering if I took those meds today or not. Nothing like the fibro fog to make you memory dead.

To play it safe and it you still have the headache, take 2 Advil (on a full stomach). It will help either way and won't interact.

I do that all the time - I have to count pills to figure out when/how many pills I've taken. Hell, I've had to look in the mirror to see what pills are on my tongue before I swallow them (to make sure I didn't accidentally grab two of the same medication).

I accidentally doubled my seroquel once. I only take 25 mg, so it wasn't fatal. 25 mg to help me sleep, which works. but 50 made me a zombie the next day. I slept on my desk!

OMG.....BEEN THERE....DONE THAT! Can you take 2??? Call the nurse! That darn fibro fog! Good Luck!

Thanks Fibro Fog... THe fog is what kills me the most. It seems like I can't remember anything lately. I feel disfunctional, I can't complete a full sentence with out stopping because I can't remember the word I want, or if im on the pc i have to look up the spelling of words I know I should know.

my headaches were really horrid at work. I used to put a sticky note on the bottle and mark when I took it. Between the headache and the fog I never knew if I had taken it.

As to the daily pills, must rely on the little boxes M T W T, etc.

I could really use a better buddy than this darn fibro fog guy
