I Forgot To Take My Vimpat Last Night .
Any advice? This is the second time in 2 years. Last time I ended up in the ER. I’m kind of freaking out.
I was told you would be able to take them within a half hour of when it should be taken. It is different when having a Fasting Test. They are then trying to learn how much is left in your system from the night before. If I take it at 11, then I take it at 10:30 PM. My Pharmacy now provides Bubble Packs, with the date, dosage and correct meds for AM and PM. There is not charge for this service. It does help.

When I first started taking the Epidiolex, they told me that either I would always take them with meds or not, If I have not gotten enough sleep, I take them and get more ZZs. The Epidiolex does cause very Loose Bowels. I will speak to someone about that issue tomorrow.
