 I was undetectable at week 8, on week 10 was taken off treatment temperarly due to low red blood

cell counts, had transfussion. two weeks later put back on meds. I was freaked out and thought I would

have to start all over. week 12 still undetectabe so apperantly it's not the end of the world if you screw up alittle.

  I HATE THAT BRAIN FOG!!

My cell phone alarm is my best friend. If I didn't have it going off, I would forget when it was time for meds. And I too have to take them as soon as the alarm goes off or else I could easily forget if I were to wait. But I am sure during the course of treatment everyone messes up at some point.

Not sure if this helps anyone else, but I have a million alarms going off. I have one to remind me to start eating my fat, and then 30 minutes later I have another reminding me to take my meds.

yep,  John,  guilty here... so far so good... even with the timers and all the reminders *$it happens.. brain fog.. as Joanne said my doc said if it's been 6 or more hours skip that dose and go on to the next scheduled one and catch up on the end?  I hope this helps and yes we freak out when we miss the meds casue of all the package inserts & warnings... all the best MJ

It's great you discovered your mistake.
Yes, I forgot a scheduled dose and it was
Hours later. Drug manufactor instructions
Said skip the dose. I talked to forum member.
I took them late and waited maybe hour later
For regular scheduled dose--then I was back on track.
It gets hard to keep focused. I used my iPhone
Alarm clock, set it to go off same times daily by using Sari.
BUT IF I DON'T TAKE MED AS SOON AS ALARM GOES OFF
I STILL CAN FORGET. I am in week 37 of 48

As hard as we try not to, i'm sure most of us have either missed a dose or been late. I, at more than 1 time either underdosed or took too many incivek. While its best to be totally consistant, accidents do happen, expecially with the brainfog.

I missed a partial Inicievk dose. I was really trippin' with the Riv, Escitalopram, and Trazadone. I took one (late) and the other 1 1/2 hrs after that. Has anybody  done this? or am  I  just a knucklehead???
