TK-- unless you start to have really bad redistribution side effects

continue with the round since you have already taken subsequent doses.

I would still have two days to go. I'm

TK--- I understand as most of us have done this but, it is done,

don't worry about it now especially since you are not having bad side

effects.

Thanks, TK ... I have already figured out what I am going to try

with that 3 a.m. dose ... I'm going to put it in a small Dixie cup

by itself instead of on the nightstand with a bunch of other

pills ... then I will know to reach for the cup first. I think the

problem came with trying to take too many pills at one time in the

dark when I was so tired ... and one slipped out. Unforunately, the

wrong one! The head pressure has already disapeared ... my feet are

a little tingly/twitchy but that's typical for me on the second day

of the round. I'll keep my fingers crossed that I'll be OK the rest

of the time and won't have a bad " after round. " My last round I felt

fantastic ... no redistribution feeling whatsoever.

I don't know what I would do without this board!
