I been controlled for a long time. Last night I took my evening medication and went to been I woke up a little at midnight and ask my husband what day it was. He told me it was Thursday, he had not gone to bed yet. So I look and my Thursday medication was still there I I said I must fell to sleep without taking it and took it. Then he informed we that it was thursday morning. When I realize what I did it was to late. I contacted the offices, a nurse called me back which gave me the posion control number. I contacted them and gave them the medication I over dose. They asked how long I was taking it, then informed I would not have any problem. just wait tell 10 am to take my morning. Drink extra water
