I sort of flubbed up. It looked as though there were more capsules in the bottle before I finally counted them and realized I was overdue in phoning the other County to arrange for the refill. Then, since I had to get a friend of mine to sign for them in order for them to be mailed to my address in a different County, I was dependent on his schedule in order to receive my meds. As a result, I've been without meds since Friday -- five days now. I had hoped he'd have gotten to the clinic on Monday, so that they would be in today's mail. However, I have now learned that he didn't get there till today. So they won't be here till this Friday, or possibly even Saturday.
I started "feeling it" yesterday -- or at least I think I did. Does anyone know how long someone can go without taking 2000mg of depakote a day before withdrawals kick in? On Saturday I have to teach a bunch of music to 35 high school kids, it being the first rehearsal of the season. That's nerve-provoking enough without having to worry about being without meds.
I contacted local Mental Health, where I had earlier called but had not yet gotten a call back (regarding transferring my services from one County to the other) and they said someone on their Access Team would call me today after 1pm. She marked it "urgent."
I'm not mad at anyone, by the way. People get busy. I know my friend did his best, and he's doing me a favor. I'm a little mad at myself for mis-interpreting the amount of pills that were left in the bottle. But I've had a lot on my mind lately, starting a new job, and having moved to a new town.
My boss told me at least 5 times yesterday that I was speeding up the tempos of the music. Also, I spaced out quite a bit. I feel OK today -- but that's because it's my day off. Not sure how I'd do on the piano.
