My memory is really getting bad.My inj day is thurs p.m. I took my inj as normal. Friday(which i thought was thursday) I forgot I had taken my inj the day b4 and...you guessed it i took another shot. Its Sunday,no abnormal effects,anybody else ever done this? should I call ER? Like I said, i feel OK.

On week 30(31 now lol). No, im not feeling any worse than usual. Damn, Ive got to start writing stuff down. 2 weeks ago I went for my gastro appt (30 miles from my house) got there , It was Sunday, I hope this stuff isn't permanent. I mean forgetting where you put your car keys happens to everyone. But this,it could be dangerous. thanks for all you guys 411. I feel better.

You'll be fine. Like Justme, a few other people have double dosed for longer periods. Better one shot to many than a missed shot.

Just let your doctor know so you can get an extra dose for your last shot of tx.

Just pay attention to how you feel.  If you feel weird call your doctor.  

I forget how long you have been on TX.  If you are fairly early in TX and have not built up a lot of side effects, it's probably not going to amount to anything.

I used all kinds of tricks to help me remember my days and hours when I needed to be dosing.  Maybe connect it to watching a particular TV show or something else that always falls on a specific day.  I was in a trial, so had 12 extra pills a day, taken at 7-9 hr. intervals and cell phone alarms were a lifesaver for keeping me on track.

I took 2 shots per week for the first 12 weeks of tx, and even though I had nothing to compare it to, I weathered it OK. You'll be just fine...except for the stress about double dosing, that is!  :-)

Some yrears ago someone took an injection a day for a week because he misunderstood,
It was in all the medical journals.There were no ill effeccts.
It is not an ER issue,just forget about it.
