Took initial 6 pill dose last night as I ate dinner. (I thought that pack dosage was set up the same was as the other and I would take the other 5 tonight, 4 tomorrow etc etc) I then noticed tonight that I was supposed to be taking these throughout the day; after I just took 3. I did not take the other two. Should I just skip and then start the breakfast, lunch dinner routine for rest of packet? And leave the two from today out of the equation.

Hello, Bobby! How are you?

They don't have to be taken at various times, they can be taken all at once, unless your doctor has some specific reason for you not to do so. They are normally only spaced out to try to help minimize the side effects, taking them altogether can cause some serious nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness and insomnia, as reported by the FDA.

Thus, there really should be no reason to skip those 2, but it's always best to check with your doctor or pharmacist to be sure. It may differ, depending on some health conditions and other medications a person is taking.

Is there anything else I can help with?
