Hi guys, I forgot to take my meds last night and now my heart is racing and I feel anxious. I only take 3mg of INVEGA. Is this normal?

You gotta take your meds. Skipping you start to gain withdrawals

Add cold sweats to the list, this is horrible. Do I take my missed dose now or do I wait a few hours to take it the time I normally take it?

Just take it when you normally take it. You might be anxious about missing a dose.

My psychiatrist told me that if I miss a dose by more than two hours, than to skip it and take the next dose at the regular time. It will often say so on the bottle or the directions that come from the pharmacist. But I am pretty sure that what you do about a skipped dose depends on the individual and the medication he/she is on. I miss my morning resperidone dose every now and then with no noticeable ill effects. But my body and medication is different from you so It’s hard to compare. I have been on medication for more than thirty years. I’ve skipped doses over the years and I have never had a crisis.
