Could Overdosing Kill You?

Sophs, please reach out to someone. Talk to a therapist or counselor who can help you sort out your feelings and get you back on track. Trying to kill yourself is a desparate cry for help. You don't really want to die, you just want these problems to go away. You CAN work through this and find happiness and a peace of mind again. Keep posting here but please talk to a counselor or therapist soon. Take care.

Hi Sophs, Think of organizing your medications the way your meals are organized. Pick up a 7-day pillbox. Then organize your medications according to your dosage schedule. When you get to the last day of meds in the pillbox, refill it for the entire week. Turn it into a routine, and will be managed. Then you won't have to worry asking yourself "did I take my medication". As part of my routine, I won't leave my house in the morning or evening if I have not checked that I'd taken my medicine. Plus, if I know that I won't be home for that evening (if I'm out with my girlfriend), I have a little medication tray I take with me with my evening dosage. When I get home, I look at the pillbox to make sure that it's taken. Think of it like taking a vitamin in the morning. :) Sophs, I was adopted at 6 months old. No one in my family has seizures, I'm the only one who does. I accept that. When I was younger, I thought the seizures made me different than anyone else. Several years ago, I considered it unique - in that it's something that only I have and no one in my entire family has. That made me feel better. There was a time where I took my medication twice in the morning when I was in junior high school. I ended up with a migraine headache, went to the nurse, and was taken home. When I got home, I went to sleep. I slept through the day, and the next thing I knew it was 6am the following morning. I didn't have a seizure, it just knocked me out. I don't recommend that. Tell ya what, check out your area and see if there's an epilepsy support group. Voice your opinions and feelings with them. You may find that there are people who have felt the same as you, gone through the same thing. Maybe they can offer some suggestions to help get you through it. Don't give up. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Just believe in yourself. :) Good luck. --James
