Hello, Bonnie! How are you?

That's not too long of a time period, so things shouldn't get too bad, unless you are very sensitive to medications. You may experience some minor withdrawal effects, such as nausea and headache, according to the NIH.

In the future, to avoid any issues, it might be a good idea to use some sort of reminder system to make sure you put it on, such as a phone app. My husband and I use one for our medications, all the 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.

Is there anything else I can help with?
