I just got to work and realized that I forgot to take my pill this morning. I've been taking them in the mornings since Saturday.
I'm at work. How big of a deal is it if I wait until I get home to take it? Like 5:00? Should I try and go home on lunch? It's Zoloft...just started taking it, 25 mg. I know the doc and the pharmacist said to take it at the same time each day - just curious how important that really is. Thanks! |

I suppose the best thing which would give you the most immediate and accurate answer would be to call your doctor. The other thing is that your pharmacist might be willing to sell you ONE pill, if your pharmacy is closer to work than your house is.

Just take it tomorrow.Most of us forget to take our meds. once in a while and its not a bid deal if you miss it one day but doubling up on a med can get you sick so don't do that .

I went home on lunch anyway to let the dog out, so I took it then.
I did read in the patient handout thingy that if you miss a pill, take it as soon as you remember, but if it's a whole day later just skip it (don't take a double - dose). Makes sense to me. Lol....this is bringing back the days when I was on birth control and freaking out if I was a few hours late taking a pill! |

Glad you managed to take it...
I've talked to my pharmacist about this stuff before, and they say if you're more than 12 or so hours off of taking a pill then to just wait until you take it again (if you take it on a daily basis in the morning as an example). Won't do you too much harm to miss a dosage, but sometimes your body doesn't much like it (but better than an overdose I'd say!)
