I took my 15mg am dose at 7:30am supposed to wait 12 hrs for 15mg pm dose not thinking I forgot I took am dose & took another 15mg at 11:30am 4 hours apart not the 12 hours
What do I need to do? Should I wait til 11:30pm to take pm dose or wait til morning skip night dose?
Is the 2 15mg doses 4 hours apart going to affect me badly? What do I need to watch for? Is going to sleep a bad idea? I also have Addisons going into shock scares me

Hello, Sheri! How are you? Did you experience any adverse effects?

The FDA warns that it could cause you to experience more severe side effects than usual, such as dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. It could also cause depression the central nervous system, which may be dangerous, so you'd need to watch for shallow breathing and severe drowsiness.
