Remember to take your doses!

Here's a success I wanted to share: I did not miss even a single pill this year. They made a mistake at hospital before January, but that was hospital's mistake. I do not make any mistakes with meds, and neither should you. Now is a question. You should take pills in the morning, but I sometimes take them at 12:30 soon after the morning or so. Is this bad?

Prozac — 40 mg — 6 months — holding | Zyprexa — 20 mg — 6 years — holding | Depakote — 600 mg — 8 months — **tapering** | Buspirone — 20 mg — 8 months — holding | with clinician

It's always best to take your dose at a consistent time, but if you're a bit late every now and then and don't have any adverse effects from it, then it's probably okay. I wouldn't make a habit out of it though. That's just my opinion!

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 17.92 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Levothyroxine - 25 mcg
