day ninety
the day started out good - relaxing morning with cartoons and my husband. went to do some laundry, ran to the store, started feeling off. really foggy, sad, like vertigo. i took a nap and work up and still felt horrible. i couldn't figure out why.
my joints are super painful today. but this isn't related to ra. it didn't feel like it. i just don't feel right. we have plans to meet a friend for dinner tonight and i really didn't want to cancel. i thought maybe taking a shower would make me feel better so i got in the shower.
for some reason, i started thinking in the shower. standing there, dizzy and woozy and depressed, i realized something.
i hadn't taken my antipsychotic medication last night.
i take it every night at bed time. i take it into bed with me with a glass of green tea. last night i specifically took my methotrexate into bed with me. i did not take my antipsychotic.
within 14 hours of missing my dose, i felt like hell. i've heard about the withdrawal effects of this medication being horrible, but wow - that was quick.
i took my pill about an hour ago and am waiting to feel better. i hope it happens soon. i also took a b vitamin complex my hubby has. i've read online that can help with the withdrawal effects.
here's hoping the rest of the evening goes well.
