Didn’t take levo for two days (forgot them)

hi all,

went away for a couple of nights this weekend and forgot my levo. Should I take the missed doses all at once? Or spread them out over a couple of nights?

Wasn’t sure if it would be an issue as I’ve seen on Reddit some people take a weeks worth at once etc.

Thanks!

To be on the safe side I'd spread out however much you missed over a week.

Some people are fine taking extra but not everyone.

It's 175mcg, which will work out at an extra 25 mcg for next 7 days so ill do that :) Thanks!

I think the advice is to just take your usual dose as soon as you remember but not to make up for what you missed just carry on with your usual dose.

I feel it if I miss my lunch time dose but do recover after a couple of days of taking my normal dose so I would probably not take a little extra, 2 days without be tough in my case

The best is to use a weekly pill holder and it will remind you if you took the pills or not.Personal I dose bed time so that I don't forget.

Not what you're looking for?
