I'm Never Doing That Again............

Hi Everyone,

Well I have had a hell of a day!! Remember yesterday I said how I haven't slept well in over a week? Well hubby decided to offer me a sleeping pill. My first thought was NAH! I guess I will never sleep. Lots of people function daily on hardly any sleep, and besides I don't work, which he kindly points out all the time.

So around 10:30pm I am getting ready for bed and he gives me 2 pills. I said why 2? He says that the bottle (which he got from the doctor) said take 1 or 2 at night to get sleep. So I said what the heck, I will probably take them and just stare at the ceiling all night and it won't work.

So I woke up this morning to Mandy barking downstairs at the gardener outside at 8:24am. Wholy Shit!! I have never been in bed that late in like forever.

But there is a big problem. I can hardly move and feel like I am on drugs and hangover and deathly ill all at the same time. I stumble out of bed, wobbly, banging into the walls trying to make it to the toilet to pee. I made it back to bed with much difficulty.

Hubby finally comes upstairs and said he went jogging and sorry about the noise - but I was sleeping with my mouth open when he left. I said WHAT THE HELL WAS IN THOSE PILLS???????????????

I can hardly move and feel like shit. I laid in bed until 10:30 and felt sick to my stomach so I got up with great difficulty, brushed my teeth and washed my face. Couldn't even put on moisturizer or take a shower - too weak. just slipped on an old size XL sundress and stumbled downstairs.

Made some coffee, and put 2 pcs of oasis bread in the toaster oven and plopped on the couch. Hubby finally said your toast is burning... I said what the flying F-K do you care??? You drugged ME!!! I am dying and its all your fault!!!

He took the burnt toast and threw it out and fixed me more and put it on the coffee table and went upstairs to leave me alone. Cause I kept saying YOU DRUGGED ME!!! I can't even move!!!

Finally around 12:00 I could move my arms a little and started taking a few bites at a time of the toast. Then I felt sick and went to throw up but nothing. Around 2:30 I got up off the couch and fixed some Quinoa w/mushrooms, 1/2 zuchinni, chicken bullion, baby spinach, and tuna all in a bowl. I know it sounded weird - but it was good. I just took like 2-3 bites at a time until it was all gone. I had to force myself to eat. I was soo weak.

I just went and got the bottle and it said TEMAZEPAM (Restoril) 30mg. It also says take 1 at bedtime as needed for sleep at bedtime. I keep telling him he tried to kill me.!!! His excuse was the doctor said he could take 2. But I told him did you read it?? It says take 1.

OK so this is what it said about this product online:

you should know that some people who took medications for sleep got out of bed and drove their cars, prepared and ate food, had sex, made phone calls, or were involved in other activities while partially asleep. After they woke up, these people were usually unable to remember what they had done. Call your doctor right away if you find out that you have been driving or doing anything else while you were sleeping.

Tell your doctor right away if you experience any of the following symptoms: aggressiveness, strange or unusually outgoing behavior, hallucinations (seeing things or hearing voices that do not exist), feeling as if you are outside of your body, memory problems, difficulty concentrating, new or worsening depression, thinking about killing yourself, confusion, and any other changes in your usual thoughts, mood, or behavior. Be sure that your family knows which symptoms may be serious so that they can call the doctor if you are unable to seek treatment on your own.

What side effects can this medication cause?

Temazepam may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:

• hangover effect (feeling groggy the day after you take temazepam)
• drowsiness
• dizziness
• nausea
• vomiting

Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of these symptoms, call your doctor immediately:

• rash
• hives
• swelling of the face, throat, tongue, lips, or eyes
• hoarseness
• difficulty breathing or swallowing

Temazepam may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while you are taking this medication.

So now its after 5:30pm and I am upstairs in my room watching TV and feel a bit better to tell my story of my day. From now on I'm just gonna suffer and be tired.

Well that's it for now. I hope you all had a better day then me. The good thing is I am a little hungry now. I swear I feel like my teenage days coming off a bad acid trip or something LOL!! ( Not that I ever did that)

Have a great day. I have no thought today because as you read above - MEMORY LOSS :-)
