Missing Doses And I’m Okay. How Long Does A Dose Stay In Your Body.
Trying to understand how my meds work. About a month ago I accidentally missed a dose, and then like a week later another dose, then a few days later missed another. No seizures, not even feeling off. So I experimented a bit over the last couple weeks. Skipped a dose here and there. Nothing… I’ve been fine. I don’t understand.

What Nada said. I got stressed reading your comment. Please discuss with your doctor before doing anything else with your meds.
I personally wouldn't play with meds like that, missing a few doses by accident is understandable but doing it on purpose just to see what will happen isn't a good idea.
These types of medications especially anti-seizure meds are quite serious to take and messing with them can be dangerous.
I missed dosages of Xcopri twice. I went to bed . 4 in the morning I took! I was fine. Yesterday did it again took at 7 am . My medication alarms so I put phone alarm on! It worked! Xcopri has my partial complex and flurries under control. The med. must have a long half life and I didn’t feel drunk during the day!
I Forgot To Take My Vimpat Last Night .
I'm Planning On Getting Pregnant. Any Advice?
