I overdosed on Sunday........

Anybody that knows me knows that I would not intentionally take too many pills. I won't even hardly take what I am supposed too. Ever since I got Mitral Valve Prolapse and a lot of pills make my heart flutter, I won't hardly take anything. I used to take anxiety meds but I quit even taking that. I take iron, vitamin D and K.

I do have sinus problems and the doctor says I can take sinus or allergy meds long as it doesn't start with a D. Any kind of a decongestant I can't take. Jana told me about Claritin and how it helps her a lot. I tried it . It didn't make my heart flutter so I take two pill's every day for my sinus problems. I take children's. That is how scared I am of meds. Besides I weigh about the weight for a 12 year old.

This weekend I went to buy Claritin but they didn't have the chewable children's so I just got the adult one. After all I have been taking them for a couple of years and I had no side effects. Yesterday morning I got two out of the package. They were smaller than the ones I have been taking. They didn't taste so good either as I was chewing them up. I had most of it taken and I read on the box and it said , " Do not take more than one in 24 hours." And they were time release and your not supposed to chew either. (I cannot swallow a pill)I spit out what I hadn't swallowed. I rinsed my mouth out with water. This would have been comical if it hadn't scared me so bad.

I called my doctor. She said I would probably be very sleepy and my mouth be very dry. Maybe tachycardia where you heart goes fast. Oh, No! I read online about it and it said about the same thing. Fast heart beat, sleepiness.

I got Tay and I ready and since Jana was still asleep I went over to a friends. I didn't want something to go wrong and Tay would be here by herself. I stayed there for a hour or so. They calmed my fears a lot by talking to me . I will be forever grateful to them. Then I went over to Jana's and had breakfast with them. The more I could eat it said online the better it would be for me.

I decided after awhile I was going to live. I was really sleepy and felt a little strange but other than that I was okay. My heart was pounding extra hard but part was due to being so scared about it. I went home and took a short nap. After awhile I was almost back to normal. I will never overdose again!
