Has Anyone Taken Medication 💊 In The Middle Of The Day ?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
West Chicago, IL

I was talking to my therapist through Phone 📱, when i realize i forgot to take my medicine. i wasn’t sure , so i went to check my pill box and sure there it was . i quickly panicked and took it (Vimpact, Briviact ,clobazam and Clonazepam) i instinctively regret it … but my body felt so off before i realized i had missed it … Now this was at 1:30ish pm . usually i take it at 8:30ish am…. so i automatically messed up my time schedule…. ugh … thoughts/opinions …
Please no judgements
