The Pied Piper Is A Comin'
I went to a BBQ this evening(well last evening-Saturday night). I had a pretty good time. Ate. Drank. Talked. And ate some more. But I had to leave so I could take my meds. During the drive home I decided to stop at the store to pick up a few things, and of course I got home too late to take the meds. Even though I've only been taking them for a week now, I know that I need at least 10 hours of sleep, and getting home at 10 wouldn't give me enough time. I have to be up for work by 8 at the latest. So I decided to take some sleeping pills, because if I don't I'll be up until 4. Well, my plan didn't work because I took the pills and I'm still up and not the least bit sleepy. I am at least getting some things done around the house that I've been putting off, but I know I'll pay for this tomorrow.

With Zyprexa, it's better to carry one in your pocket (or in a tiny medbox) than to skip it at all. I take mine at 6:00, and try to hsve one with me at all times.
ReplyDeleteI sleep ten hours too, which doesn't work because sometimes I have to be up at 5:00 to leave for out-of-town. I've been trying to get to bed at eight, but I think in a couple of weeks I'm going to ask the doctor to cut the dose.
