Hi Margaret, I see 3 messages from you so I don’t think anything was lost. Wow, you had quite the experience! It’s reassuring that you were able to find some calming programs to watch and being able to pray helped you to recenter your thoughts. I truly understand the cost of hospitalization but really, if you have a situation like that again, I encourage you to call for assistance.

I’m glad you’re better today and I don’t blame you for not wanting to take anymore of the Gabapentin. In the future, please don’t put any medications down the toilet or sink. All the meds people discard eventually end up in the water supply and then we’re all sharing the bi-products. Old pills can either be taken to a pharmacy or police station that offer drug disposal. Or they can be put in your trash in a container mixed with cat litter or coffee grounds. ☺️

Did you take the Tylenol PM and Legatrin last night? Have you discussed the change in meds with your doctor? Legatrin contains acetaminophen and an antihistamine. It the same active ingredients as Tylenol PM. So you don’t want to be doubling up on those two meds.

And I don’t need to be nagging but you mentioned the Gabapentin Advil, Motrin, Tylenol and Legatrin as your pain killers, along with taking insulin twice a day.
Do you think you may have had an insulin reaction?
