Today, I had to calm my hallucinating mom after she accidentally overdosed on one of her pills, then spend ages trying to protect her from the "monkey" on the wall. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I began to choke on a large pill while my mom was in the room. Hoping that she would help me, I began to make a lot of noise. After she completely ignored me, I threw my body over a chair, saving my life. At this point my mother asks me to shut up because she can't hear her friend. FML
Today, while my friends were over, my mom took too many of her pills and walked around the house nude. She then bit me. FML
Today, I found my mom throwing my very expensive and important medication down the toilet. She thought I was doing drugs. FML
Today, while I took my dog out, my mother began to cook, took a Xanax, locked the doors, and passed out. When I managed to get in, I called the paramedics because she was in the smoke for at least an hour. When she became conscious, she blamed me for everything. FML
Today, my mother took a bunch of sleeping pills, then went driving. I followed her and dialed 911. Now she thinks that I was "trying to get her arrested," and she refuses to talk to me ever again. FML
Today, I had to stop my son from climbing out the window, slithering on the stairs like a snake, and attempting to call 911 to help bring him down from his “bad trip”. What caused all this? His older brother convinced him the dried mushrooms in the kitchen were ‘shrooms and the idiot beloved him. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and tried to push me off a ladder. FML
Today, my mom read my diary. Then she frantically booked me an appointment with a psychiatrist. FML
Today, I found out my mom recently stopped taking her medication. I came home to find she'd shot my dog because she thought he was possessed by the devil. FML
Today, I woke up with one of the worst migraines I've had in months. My mother (who thinks I'm a hypochondriac) began to scream at me about "making up an illness". When I asked for my meds, she called me an addict, and dumped my $300 prescription down the sink. FML

Was it the Evil Monkey from Family Guy? (: He's harmless.

What if there is a monkey on the wall and you can't see it because /you/ overdose on the pills.

Considering the fact that your mother accidentally overdosed and could have died, i'd say this was more of an FML for her. You should be happy she is still alive...

Sedate her
psiloveyou15 12
Yes, because it's a good idea to give her more random drugs after she's already got a bit too many in her system.

Sounds bananas.

How does someone "accidentally" over-dose? I wonder if this is the first time she has done this. I feel for OP.
mandacleary 14
it happens all the time..

Well I guess they accidentally take over the dose. Tis not rocket science, missy.
asparagus12 21
I'm just saying it is hard to do that on accident. Most people who take more than prescribed do it on purpose.

It's not hard to forget that you've done something mundane, like taking a daily dose of medicine... It's possible she took a double dose by accident? I'm not knowledgable enough about pharmaceuticals to know if any would cause hallucinations in a similar situation. Seems possible though, especially if it was a psychiatric drug.
asparagus12 21
Typically a double dose isn't harmful. You would have to take an entire bottle or maybe half to have hallucinations. Either way I feel sorry for OP. Having an irresponsible parent sucks.

69 - that's not always true though, it depends on the kind of medication. i was prescribed benzodiazepines for anxiety and during an anxiety attack i took a couple over the recommended dose (which is 1mg) and it gave me terrible hallucinations (among other side effects). but if it's an otc medication it would definitely take a lot more than a few pills to make you hallucinate.

69- 2 ambient can make you hallucinate crazy shit. Not exactly a harmful dose and easy to forget you've already taken one, but the effects are...out there. A lot of drugs can have hallucinogenic effects if taken even just slightly over the recommended dose, or even at the standard dose if you're underweight.

I know someone who took 3 times the amount of narcotic cough syrup on accident by confusing tsp and Tbsp. She hallucinated.

It could be as easy as the pills being the same look but a different dose, she could be taking 30mg in what had been 3 capsules and is now 1, forgot the change and took 3 times her dose, using the way my capsule amounts changed a while back. I didn't have a problem because I'm paranoid and read the labels ever time 'just in case' but it's easy to see how it could happen.

Damn. Was her "Doctor" some guy on the street corner selling special K?
Wizardo 34
If by 'Special K' you mean some crystal blue persuasion, then probably yes...
DrownedMyFish 18
Am I the only one who pictures a street doctor selling boxes of Special K cereal when I read this?

Some people pay a lot of money for drugs that make them trip out like that. Meanwhile, others pay a lot of money to rehabilitate from those drugs, prescribed or not. I have lost a few people to prescribed medication ODs. Evil monkeys aside, accidents like this are a very serious, life-threatening issue.

This shit is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Is this really a fml moment? You should be glad you could help before something bad happened...
