Help with dose mix-up - one day only!!

[[my...]]

Hi all,

I overslept this a.m. - a good thing I guess! But in my rush to take the overdue a.m. dose of .4375 I grabbed the bottle of .5 mg clon and took one.... Even though I had doses divided into a pill container, I just forgot!!  Now I need to make up the difference over the course of the day.  Would you:

1) switch the doses around and do .4375 mid-day and .4375 at bedtime  OR

2) cut .125 from mid day dose so I can still take the .5 at bedtime as I have been doing all along?

 

It's not that big a deal but just wondering if any of you have had similar screw-ups and what you have done to compensate.  I'll be OK either way. 

 

Thanks BB's!!!

Hi there,

 

I've done a similar thing to what you've done when I was tapering, it's easily done and I'm sure that a one off mistake will have no effects on the taper.

 

If I was you, I would reduce my midday dosage by 0.125 to compensate and then take my 0.5 mg at bedtime as usual. This way you know that you're keeping a consistent dosage of the klonopin in your bloodstream but as I said I doubt you'll notice any ill effects.

 

I hope this helps.

Thank you Debbie!

That is my instinct as well...    And good to hear from someone who successfully tapered. All the best to you,

Ahh, thank you Mana, that's very kind of you 

 

Good luck with the rest of your taper

If it were me, I would do nothing different to compensate because the updose was very small. This has happened to me a couple of times and I didn't want to really screw my schedule so I just pretended it didn't happen and went back to my normal schedule. No difference in my feelings. Bets

Thank you Bets..just saw this.  Hmm......Will check again when it's time for mid-day dose and see what others have to say.  I do see your point.  Thank you for thinking about it!

Hi all,

Case closed...I cut the mid-day dose by .125 and will take the .5 at bedtime.  Thanks for helping me think this through!!
