I am taking medication for my anxiety but I sometimes skip doses (without meaning to). What kind of effect does this have on me?

Question

Trintellix 20 mg, SID When I forget a dose I don't feel any different. However, lately I have been experiencing heartaches, headaches, dizziness. I have the impression that these symptoms are consistent with the resumption of my medication. Could this be the case?

Good evening, The effect it can have is very variable from one person to another. How do you usually feel when you miss a dose? Yes, it is. The risk of missing a dose is mainly the risk of experiencing side effects when taking the medication again or withdrawal symptoms during the missed period. There are few consequences if none of these symptoms are experienced. Of course, too many consecutive misses could lead to a decrease in the overall effectiveness of the medication over time as well I hope that I have answered your question.
