I made the mistake of not taking my pills tonight, which means I'm up all night again. I'm so lazy. If I would just take my pills I would probably be sleeping right now, being it's 5:30am. *sigh* I just remembered I didn't take them so if i took them now, I'd be sleeping the whole day away today. I swear I should kick myself. I kept saying Oh I'll do it later (take my pills) and then never got around to it. I look at the clock and hours have passed. Jeez. What a dope I am.

Ugh. How have you been getting on with the new pills? I'm assuming from what you've written that they're working for you? Are you able to take them long term, or are they just for the next couple of weeks?

I wonder if you'd not have realized you forgot to take your pills if you'd still be awake; maybe there's some placebo effect at work here? In any case, now you know – don't forget those pills!

Mistakes are merely an opportunity to learn!

Am I the only one who notices (and finds funny) that posting that quote and asking how to make it a signature, in itself, was a mistake and an opportunity for learning?

Nah, it just shows how smart you are – after all, you're figuring out how to use the quoting system!

Oops I forgot that I posted this thread. I am taking Silenor and this is my second month on it. So far it seems to be doing the trick, BUT I have to take it before my insomnia sets in for the night otherwise it doesn't do anything for me.

I'm up at 4am now because I fell asleep around 11pm and hadn't taken my pills. 😛 So I'm waiting for about an hour or so before I take my pills (from when I woke up) so hopefully I'll get to sleep tonight. I noticed that if I take my pills too soon after I wake up from sleeping like this then they don't work. It's a pain in the butt. Trial and error I suppose.

I know how you feel, I do that often. What pills are you on may I ask? My GP is keeping me on 200mg of amitriptaline for now while I await a referral with a specialist, and the specialist is referring me on to a sleep clinic (as I suffer from depression as well as insomnia, but they're not sure which is causing which).

But as I said I often do that “ah I'll take 'em later”, then never do. Then I'm up all night, and by time I really WANT to sleep, it's too late to take them cos they'll just make me groggy all day.

Yes that's hwat happens to me, I say I'll take them later and then never do… Then i'm up all night, too and its too late to take them. 😛

I take a plethora of pills for various medical issues.

Silenor – sleeping pill

Neurotin – for anxiety

Lexapro – for anxiety

Risperdal – for bipolar mania and depression

zocor – for high cholesterol (which is under 200 now but my doc still has me on it)

Tricor – for high triglycerides

Unithroid – for slow thyroid

Nexium – for GERD/possible ulcer in stomach

Zyrtec – for allergies

Flonase – for allergies (nasal spray)

lisinopril – for high blood pressure

Relafen – for bursitis (NSAID)

Metformin for type 2 diabetes

and soon I'll be taking birth control pills for Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

I don't think I left any out but I may have.. I used to take a powder inhaler called Pulmicort for asthma but since I quit smoking I don't need it anymore.

Oh the joys of taking medicine every night and morning. I usually forget to take my morning pills.

Blimey, no wonder you forget sometimes !!

I take 200mg amitriptaline which is supposed to be multi-purporse (tension/anxiety/depression and to act as a low level sedative), diazapam (obvious what that's for), 30mg codeine (chronic tension headaches, can't take paracetamol etc with my kidneys but I seem to handle codeine OK) and that's about it for now!

Since apparently we are all grammatically anal, I would say the best way to phrase it would be either Mistakes are merely opportunities to learn or Mistakes are merely learning opportunities. Since “mistakes” is plural, opportunity should be plural as well. Um, I think I may have a problem. Lol.
