I just got out of the hospital-again. The doc decided to torture me with gobs of meds. Hmmm...let me see...daytime meds:2 Lamictal, 2 Stegratol (SP), 2 Xanax. Then there is my night time meds. 2 Xanax, 2 Stegratol, 1 Ambien and oh Lord don't forget the 2 Lamictal! During my hospital stay I took all of these plus I went from 300 to 1900 mg's of Trileptal in one day. They kept ramming Trileptal down my throat. Whew! The next day I went absolutely batty! Nod your head up and down very fast and that's what my eyes were doing. Lost my ability to focus, and I had to crawl to the bathroom because I had absolutely no balance. I felt like I was on a rollar coaster. ICK! I proceeded to fly into hysteria and tried to stand up to "inform" the staff and quickly fell over the cabinet and crashed to the floor. OUCH! I called out "I've fallen and I can't get up!" My roomate was laughing hysterically. My doc then called in someone from her practice rather than the doc on call because I was totally flipping out by this time. Never saw the doc on call-I had my OWN private doc! lol He told me I had too much Trileptal in my system (duh). I was lying on the bed with two shirts over my eyes to try to keep the world still. I nearly barfed. He told the nurse to bring me a bell and put me on bedrest. I was so messed up I said, "Is that a new drug?" He said, "Bells aren't really new. You ring them". My roomate continued to chortle! So what do they do then? GIVE ME TWO MORE STEGRATOL and told me to "relax". You've gotta be kiddin' me! What an experience! lol
