...forgot my a.m. A-V sub dose, ARGHH!! What to do?? EEEEEE!!

OMG-I don't usually write with 'text acronyms,' but just realized I forgot my first dose of the daily 3 on the A-V substitution !! I was trying to be all cool and organized as I started week 3 on the sub regimen, and all of the sudden, major speedbump.

 

After panicking (shouldn't there be a 'panic emoticon' on here!?) for a coupla minutes, I figured I'd take the missed dose asap, and am now planning to just spread out Thursday's doses a bit differently. Maybe I shoulda just skipped the one dose, but I'm kinda freaked out about the missed Ativan in particular, coming back to bite me.

 

I was just stepping down from 2 mg A a day to 1.5 today; not at all confident about leaping from 2 to 1, in one day. EEEEE. I just hope I'm making the right decision, as critical thinking is not what I'm known for: "I'm not nervous-just incredibly alert!" In some ways I'm OCD organized, but when I mess up I go big.

 

Last night I more or less slept as per usual (i.e. like a vampire ), and didn't feel too weird; I took my aft. dose, and then went on a 16 mile or so bike ride...come to think of it, I did find myself passing more people than usual on this cool bike touring trail I ride on, and even whipped by a few motorized scooters (who aren't supposed to use the trail, tsk).

 

Although I was kinda tired afterward, I found I was pretty wired for the rest of the evening, but didn't clue in to my skipped meds till I got out dose #3. Wonder what that indicates re: psych/physical ramifications? I mean, I've was taking some aft. doses a few hours late when I was waiting to start sub, but that didn't seem like such a big deal.

 

Sooo, I think I'll wind this anxiety-rant down, and try to do some stretching and chill, BUT if anyone reads this and has any immediate thoughts, I'll be up (splitting the atom? mediating world peace?) for a few more hours, and checking back.

Thanks in advance if anyone has any feedback/advice!

Go BIG or Go Home , I always say  do nothing half way , ALL in or ALL out , is what I say  Can't run with the BIG dogs , stay on the porch  Win or eat dirt  Live or Die , I'm in let's go    It'll be OK , don't worry , be happy  :'( Oh man !  I messed up , stayed up , and went down in smoke  sad so sad , got kicked , zapped , and stunned  What a let down  OH Noooooooo.....boom    How was your night ?

You should be a writer , that was awesome  What dose did you miss ?

Allie , I think I would take it and spread out todays doses to adjust ... I think .  I pulled one of your deals and I'm still just zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz what ! POST click , You are Timed out  Iam crazy

You're the best, Iam-in a class all your own, and that's a good thing  .I think I scared my catz/dogz (good thing horse was not in house!) tearing around the house juggling pills and throwing myself onto the floor in uncoordinated panic  !! After reading your replies, I'm reclining gracefully in my chaise lounge, meditating calmly ...that is after having a good giggle at YOUR redoubtable writing  . Heehee...we're gonna make it, if character counts?!

P.S. Iam, you are definitely GOOD crazy, buddie...oh, and I missed my 'middle/aft' dose, but like you say: "Go all in!" Gonna be fine  ...

Thanks mona mie  Bon amor  parlai vou  si gracias  can't speak or spell  , same problamo different dao 

Allie , Hope you didn't have any major problems with the dose being late . I've done the same thing and it worked out OK , so far . My heart was doing a hula dance last night . I was late taking my medicine , just forgot  I write it down and have it layed out and still missed it . Need to set an alarm , I guess .  The lower the dose the MORE important it is to not be late , I think .  Be careful with the c/o  Seems to get iffy for some people  We're gonna make it  With THE LORD's Help  Shalom , Iam 

Well whew, I did stay up all night  , but got my doses back on track yesterday; had an alternately groggy and hyper time of it, but no hideous sx, so I'm just thankful for that. ....A lesson to be a little more disciplined/less distracted, ahem / . Thanks again to Iam  for leaping to the rescue  ; considering Iam is already a horse person, all that is required is a white steed and a suit of armour . Maybe I need a watch/phone with an alarm, in the meantime??
