I'm at a friends house, nowhere near my house and I forgot my meds. (I know right, how silly can you get?)

My whole trip is being ruined because I feel like absolute death and I think it's Quetiapine withdrawal. I didn't sleep at all. I'm exhausted and I can't sleep.

My eyes are killing me, my head is fuzzy, I can't concentrate, and now I feel sick.

Is this all normal? It seems so extreme for missing just 2 doses

I'm only on 300mg but it seems to really affect me because when I do take it, I also feel like death because some days I'm fine then other days i feel like I overdosed and I can't stand up or walk straight and it's like I'm off my face.

(I'm gonna ask my cc about this because it's like I'm having a different tablet each night like a Russian roulette and it makes no sense to me)

Anyway, is this normal bc my trip is being ruined bc I feel like absolute rubbish (on top of low mood- oh yeahs it's a joyeous week for me)

Sounds exactly how I feel if I miss even one night of quetiapine. Can a local doctor not prescribe you some as an emergency?

I'm glad it's not just me. I'm going home in the morning so there's no use finding another Dr. I'll just start taking it again tomorrow.

I'm so silly for forgetting my meds.

^^ that's a good idea.

I feel so rough and bc I got lost I'm gonna miss half my appointment to ask about med stuff. I feel like hell on it (albeit a bit less hell) and hell off it.

Don't be too hard on yourself it is easily done. I did it myself a while ago and now keep an emergency supply in my bag.

I found it got easier after the first two days although felt like hell again the first few days of taking it again.

I took a 150 I had spare when I got home and slept all day. I feel a bit more human now although I'm MASSIVELY craving sugar but that's fine.

And I managed to eat without throwing up.

And I spoke about my meds in my appointment. When I see psych might ask about split dose that might be better maybe in general?

Although lesson learnt - keep emergancy meds in bag/purse
