Zinnia-

you are definitely NOT stupid. Who wants to take a med that makes us feel off. It's part of our BP lifestyle. We just have to sit and wait out the yucky side effects before the leveling kicks in. I'm so sorry you had a rough day- I hope the lamictal levels off soon.

And I agree with everyone else- we have all forgotten at 1 point or another to take our meds. If I forget my nightly dose- I spend an hour throwing up in the morning. And then I just take the next dose and feel like poop all day.

Get better, you aren't alone on this one!

Seroquel. Because if I forget my am meds it doesn't have the same effect.

Aw, Z...it's okay, most of us do this at one time or a nother (some of us, LIKE ME) try it more often Sad

THANKS for sharing, it reminds us all that every dose is needed and we shouldn't mess with them to change our moods and get hyper. Kevin (my son) always calls me on that, even with coffee!! (darned kid!) LOL
