only half awake!

what a silly person I am! Am on 4mgs and doing absolutely fine. Really happy I am now down to this since the start in April 2021. But this morning, I woke early, pills by my bed and I picked up and ate a 5mg at the end thinking it was a 1mg which means I have taken 8mg today. Do I just ignore it and go back and carry on at 4mg or should I take say a lower dose tomorrow? . Please help.

Enjoy the better day that you are very likely to have! And tomorrow - go back to normal. Almost everyone has done it at some point and it is a lot better than taking a 1mg instead of a 5mg tablet :)

And do consider getting a dosette box that you load (say) weekly with good light, wide awake and no distractions.

Yes just ignore it, you could have forgotten to take them which is much worse and hurts more!!
