Actually I'm sort of surprised you take all the Cymbalta at night as it is typically, but not always a somewhat to (in fewer people than Effexor) greater stimulating medication that is often taken in the daytime.
It happens -- you can be happy that you didn't take 800 at night and then another 800 in the midday of Seroquel instead of your other medication just before having a conversation with one of your good friends on vacation. I was slapping my head inside and wondering if I should order a few more shots of espresso. But I made it back over the highway to where I was staying at nearly 1200-1600mg of Seroquel still in me.
And I did this twice! At home. I was contemplating putting the Seroquel in a box saying DONT TAKE DURING THE DAY. But I haven't done that since so I just chalk it up to absentmindedness and panicky feelings ignoring details. Not to mention I've been on the routine for like 3 years +, so oh well.
Glad to hear you're allright.- Jay
