I take a fair amount of medication and use a daily pill divider to make it easier to organize everything. I normally have a regiment for the morning, after waking up, and at night, right before bed.

Recently, I got a prescription for 20 mg immediate-release Adderrall tablets (there has been a shortage of extended release for months). My psychiatrist told me to take a tablet in the morning, and to take a second one in the early afternoon if necessary. Just to make things easier, I put two 20 mg Addie tablets in each day’s slot, so as to have the second tablet immediately ready.

On another note, I have been searching for a job for some time, and have sent my resume out to many places, but no bites, unfortunately…until this past Monday. I got a response back, and the manager agreed to meet at 8 AM on Thursday for an interview! I was (am) stoked.

Welp, around midnight, I laid down, and in the dark, I opened up today’s slot and chugged down all the pills inside (since only the night-time pills should have been left). About 20-25 minutes later, while browsing my phone, I randomly got a boost of energy. Weird, right? I even take melatonin at night to help me sleep faster.

Only after becoming more energetic did I realize that I fucking forgot that the 20 mg Adderrall was inside the slot, and that I subsequently swallowed it.

As I type this, it’s 1:30 AM, and I am not tired at all. I am pretty much not going to get any sleep tonight, any the Addie will wear off by the time I need to be up to get ready to leave for the interview.

TL;DR: Accidentally swallowed Adderrall along with my nightly meds, and am going to go to my first job interview in months, completely sleep-deprived.

UPDATE: As predicted, I did not get a wink of sleep in the night. I passed the night by browsing Youtube, continuously preparing for everything that I would say, and ironing and setting all my clothes and other necessary things aside, since I most likely would not have the energy to do so in the morning. The effects went away at around 6:30 AM, and I felt like a zombie. I was debating whether or not to take a powernap, but I was scared that I would sleep through my alarm, thus missing the interview; I decided to power on through. I took my morning tablet at around 7:00 AM, and just in case, took the second tablet at 7:30 AM. Well, I arrived to the medical office and was told to be seated before the interview (medical assistant position). Lawdy lawdy lawd, the amphetamines were hitting and I was on cloud 9! I was called in and proceeded to have a 15 minute interview with the doctor, which I think went very well; I even made him laugh a couple of times! He then thanked me and said that he would email me for a follow-up! I’m still on cloud-9, but a little less-so. I don’t want to sleep yet. I just know that, in a couple of hours, when I am going to crash, I am going to burn, lol.
