My doctor put me on hydromorphone Er 8mg yesterday. I read the directions wrong. I am only supposed to take it 1 time a day, but I took it 1 every 12 hours; my last one was at 5am this morning. My question is can I start my correct schedule tonight because I am supposed to take 1 at night time a day?

It would actually be best to skip the next dose, then resume tomorrow at your next dosing time.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.
