A couple days ago I had a migraine. I started one day and went on. I had put a bottle of  Extra strength tylenol that some one had left at my house in my purse. In the middle of the night(bout 4 or 5am) I took the bottle out of my purse and took two. I did not turn on the light. I took asprin the generic kind I buy when I got up. i went to the grocery store and by the time I came out I was no longer who I used to be. I heard a loud pop in my head and was VERY dazed. In fact I was sweating profusely and did not know where I was or who any ine was for about 10 minutes. I was also extremely sick to my stomach. I finally made it home and took my Imitrex for migraines. first one then about 20 minutes later another.Long story short, I went to the ER about 8 pm that night so they could at least find out if I had had a stroke. But the migraine was gone by then. I recounted the entire thing to the doctor and PRAISE GOD I did not have a stroke. BUT he was examining me and asked if I had fell. NO I said. BUT I have bruises all on the back of my kneck and head. Apparently I hit my head somehow. I showed him the tylenol bottle from my purse and he released me. I left the bottle at the ER. he calledthe next day with the starlting news that the bottle did not comtain tylenol. It contained a very powerful medication used for alzheimers patients!!!!!! I was stunned. My mil lived with us a while back and we finally had to put her in a nursing home due to the severity of her condition. She also had a lot of medications. I had to keep them hidden from her because she would mix them up in the bottles. When i destroyed her medications that was left here I did not get rid of the tylenol. after all any of us can use it, right? Wrong

DON'T EVER USE MEDICATIONS THAT YOU YOURSELF DID NOT PURCHASE!!!!!!!!!

I shudder to think of all the horrible things that could have happened.
