forgot refill...advice please!

Okay, so I screwed up. I remembered to call in my prescription refill, but forgot to pick it up. The pharmacy was closed yesterday (I could have sworn they were open on Sundays!) and is closed today (holiday). But I'm out of pills!

I take 125 mcg synthroid. And I have lots of leftovers from the past 5 months or so from when the doc kept increasing my meds. I have 100mcg, 75 mcg, and 50 mcg.

So, rather than NOT take anything for two days, I just figured I'd take the 100's until I can get my regular pills. Or should I take a 50 and a 75 (since that is my exact dose)?

I'm hoping someone can tell me what is best...I know BEST would have been to pick up my refill before I ran out! LOL! But what can I say?

Hi dazed - I've done this myself! I would just take the 50 and 75 and not worry about it. You'll be fine til you get your refill. Hugs, Cathy :)

Thanks, Cathy!

I wasn't TOO worried about it because I figured as long as I had SOMETHING to take, I would be okay for two days...but I wasn't sure. I knew you would have an answer! :)
