This happens to me around once every month or two. The problem is that I usually take it in the morning right when I get up so I'm still sort of on autopilot. Any activity that I do every day as part of a routine can simply not get committed to memory if I'm thinking about something else.
Usually I just have to think really hard about it or (more likely) wait an hour and see if the morning brain-fog lifts. I don't want to accidentally double up for obvious reasons, but in the worst case, I just skip the AM dose to be sure and take the noon dose a little earlier if it becomes obvious I missed it in the morning.
Nothing like trying to remember if you took your medication to improve poor focus and attention, right? ;)
- cmpb 6y agoI do this too, but my window of I-can-still-take-my-meds is shorter because it’s only one dose for the day, and if I take it too late, I’ll be up all night. I’m usually halfway to dropping off the kiddos at daycare when it dawns on me, and I have to race home before going to work.
- soylentcola 6y agoYeah...this is why I switched to instant release instead of extended. More things to screw up but preferred the granular control for this exact reason. It works without issue as long as I don't take it too late. Dose is low enough to improve focus and attention without feeling like I'm on "speed" or anything, but it can still keep me from sleeping if I take it too late.
