I think you will be fine taking the dose 10-12 hours late to start it as a morning med but it is best to ask your pdoc that. You may notice some withdrawals/side effects over night but should go back to normal one you take the morning dose. I have forgotten to take my anti-d before and after about 6 hours my body reminds me I missed it as I feel weird. Once I take it again I go back to normal. Good luck

You should be fine. as Wander says you might notice a few side effects overnight but since you're going right back on it in the morning you should be ok.

Thanks guys, I made it through the night. The only peculiar thing that happened was that I woke up with m tummy growling. I didn't go to bed hungry, so I don't know if this is because I skipped my meds.

I took it this morning and now feel really groggy. I'm not happy about this because I have things to do today, but at least I don't have to work so I can lay down if needed. I took a benadryl last night to sleep so it may be the benadryl. I'm gonna try this for a few more days in the day time, and if things don't improve, I'll switch back to taking it at night.

Thanks again for the advice.
