It's understandable to feel concerned about taking your epilepsy medications at an unusual time. Many MyEpilepsyTeam members have been in similar situations. The good news is that taking your medications a few hours late or earlier than normal likely won't cause major issues. However, it's wise to consult your doctor or pharmacist to understand if or how to adjust the timing of any remaining doses that day to get back on your regular schedule. To prevent medication timing issues in the future, consider using tools like a pill organizer or checklist to help you remember and track when you take each dose. You can also set phone alerts as reminders. Having a plan in place can give some peace of mind. Most importantly, try not to judge yourself too harshly - we all make mistakes sometimes.
