Hi all,
Oh, I don't know what I was thinking this morning..... I accidentally took my lexapro instead of my thyroid med that I take every morning. I take the lexapro in the evening. I'm on 20mg of lexapro...... I took one last night and then accidentally took one this morning...... does anyone have any advice as to whether I should take one again tonight(monday night).... or should I wait now until tomorrow night(tuesday)?? I have a headache and am even more tired but that's it for side effects. Anyone have suggestion?
thank you,
flutterby- mandy

Hi Mandy I'd take the thyroid med and then space it out til you're back on schdule with it. As for the Lexapro maybe a call to your doc? Love Phillipa

Mandy I keep my synthroid in the kitchen so I have to get up to take it if wake really early as I do. Then refill the cup and put in on the side of my vitamin container. Any psych meds are in the bathroom. Did you figure out what to do about the ad? So glad you took the throid med!!!! Phillipa

Good idea-- meds in separate places... I'm going to do that too. No, I didn't figure out what to do... think I'll just skip tonights dose and get back on track tomorrow night(have this thing about feeling I bother people, so I didn't call the psychdoc)..... I've had a bad headache all day so I sure don't want one all night too, if I take another lexapro....so, I'll wait till tomorrow night. Going right now-- to move my thyroid meds to the kitchen. what a space head I am!!thanks so much Phillipa.
