    You can call and ask your dr. but my best guess is yes, it should be fine.  Just go back to 1 a day tomorrow.  I take 2, twice per day. Taking two at a time is a common thing.  Hope this helps.

      It seemed to take a super long time to work...but it finally did.  I also made some drastic diet changes etc. and this may have either helped or been the reason I finally found relief.  I appear to be in remission but still take the sulfasalazine.  As stated above I got really bad headaches from it initally but that didn't last for too long. Hope it works for you.
