    Hi, glad you feeling better. It's a really bad feeling when you miss a tablet. I know all too well. Set an alarm so you don't miss a tablet again. That's what I've had to do, I had no idea at first, the effect it can have just missing 1. I missed days of taking them a few times! I missed 1 then completely forgot to take them at all. The effect was terrible..over anxious..crying for little reason.. I didn't know there was anything wrong, until, someone pointed out my erratic behaviour. Best wishes and for the coming year !
