My nurse did a wrong injection

I was wondering why I had akathisia a lot more, restless legs two days ago and pacing around. I took a hot shower and then slept and my sleeping is fine. But today the nurse called me and apparently she has mixed the injection by a higher dose or what? I am not sure. I am traveling tonight so hope I don’t go wacko in the plane or on the trip =(

My injection is at maximum dose instead of being 300 mg for a month

That’s bad. I wonder if maybe that will allow you to go longer before your next injection? I know we all make mistakes but that’s a really unfortunate one. Real sorry about that.

How hard is it to look at the piece of paper and get the right injection. That’s very bad form on the nurses part.

I had the same happen to me, when my usual nurse wasn’t available. I insisted that it was only 0.6ml instead of the full 1ml. However, a full 1ml was given. I was flat on my back sleeping for 3 days! Not good at all! It reflects very badly on those particular nurses when they cannot check prior to injecting their patients.

I was supposed to be at 300 and was getting 400, was sleeping all the time, now I told them I only want 200, so they agreed.

That happened to me once too. Now, I always look at the box and make sure my nurse has the right med and the right dose.

Always check the meds before they administer them to you.

That’s scary news but it does happen.

Hundreds of people die from morphine miss dose every year.

Glad your safe. :slight_smile:

Are you on Abilify @MsBuddha?

That’s very scary. I hope you’re going to be OK. I was always afraid of being a nurse from fear of making those kinds of mistakes. That is why I picked Ultrasound Tech. Less chance of harming someone.

that is so messed up. I was on the max dose of invege and that was rough I can’t imagine what you must be going through with not getting the dose you are use to.
