In a rush this morning, I accidentally took my AD (Effexor SR 150mg) twice. I didn't twig until late this afternoon but in the meantime, I caused havoc. DD were on our way to the beach to meet my DP. I had trouble driving; my concentration was off and I felt slow but also unusually aggressive. I even got lost! We were late and by the time we got there, my hands were shaking and my heart was thumping like it would burst. Anyway, I picked a fight with DP over a random comment he made, burst into tears, tried to end the relationship, etc, etc. Poor DD was mortified and furious with me. DP was clearly miserable. I wanted to shut up, hearing myself, but couldn't seem to stop the words tumbling out of my mouth. Eventually I managed to pull myself together but the day was spoilt. It was only when DD and I were on our way home that I realized what had happened as by this time, I was feeling physically unwell, nauseous and even more jittery than before. I stopped at the chemist to ask for advice and was told not to worry, that the side-effects I was experiencing were "normal" and would wear off within 24-48 hours. I've tried to reach DP but he's not answering his phone. I'm distraught.
Words of wisdom and comfort would be much appreciated.
