Accidentally took sleeping med after drinking, feeling gross
October 25, 2023 10:49 PM Subscribe
Okay, I did something colossally stupid an hour ago and took my primary sleeping med (Belsomra) only half an hour after drinking roughly a pint of hard cider. I feel noticeably weird/gross but I'm not fading in and out or having balance issues. YANMD. Do I call poison control? Do I get a friend to drive me to the ER? I have no idea what to do and also have to figure out whether I should skip the three other meds I am supposed to take at this time of night. Help please.
Best answer: please call poison control. It's their job to help out in situations such as this.

Response by poster: Okay, that's what I did. The rep was nice and efficient and thinks I am okay based on the info I gave and since I'm alert and not slurring when I speak. I definitely feel really gross still though and something tells me I'm going to feel drugged and drowsy tomorrow.

I’d take the other meds, unless you’re feeling nauseous. Put a bucket by your bed. Take some Gatorade, Pedialyte, or other oral rehydration solutions. You’ll get through this.

Response by poster: Lol* so I suddenly got really woozy while attempting to eat some soup and I guess I bit down on my spoon in a weird way while losing my balance because one of my molars appears to be kind of cracked and now I am aware of every nerve in the right side of my face
A+ night, love this journey for me
*Not really, kind of crying rn

I hope you're feeling better this morning & that the tooth/face pain isn't too bad.
