The Importance of Taking Your Meds

SoxyWoxy

I hate not sleeping. This is why you always take your meds kids. I went over to my brother's last night for Mario Kart and hanging out and ended up having alcohol (which of course I wouldn't drive after drinking, but I especially can't do anything when I mix meds and alcohol [doctors said it is safe just not recommended, and I am not a big drinker]) so I stayed the night at his and my SIL's house. I hadn't planned on doing that so I had no meds. Means I'm not only late for my night meds and really needing my morning dose (which I am about to take after I eat) but on top of that I have been awake for 24 hours which makes me feel like crap. So long story short, take your meds kids. And don't play Mario Kart with cheaters. šŸ˜‚

      @agoraphobic This is not suggested on the retail packaging. At least 6 hours of sleep mode is suggested for optimal performance, friend.

        @inertplanetary Well, it will be a late night. I'm playing dungeons and dragons with friends. But I'm planning on hopefully napping here during the day. I've got nothing really pressing to do other than work on my novels.

        @agoraphobic that happened to me the other day, was up for like 30 hours before I finally got some sleep. Unfortunately im not professionally medicated, just the weed from the dispensary so it doesn't always help me (and otc sleep stuff doesn't work)

          @InsidiousAnomaly bro that sucks like fr. I'm legit sorry. I know how bad not sleeping regularly is (I couldn't fall asleep and then when I finally would I couldn't stay asleep. Brain doesn't turn off. I'm on a med for that now). I'm glad the weed helps you!
