No seizure when I’ve forgotten to take meds and doubled up. I’ve been taking meds for 11 years. Remember: EACH PERSON IS DIFFERENT, SO TRY TO STAY ON SCHEDULE WITH YOUR MEDS!!!

Everyone is different. That is a hard question to answer. I use a pill box because I can't remember if I took my meds half the time. I also have an alarm on my phone to remind me to take them. hope this helps.

I’ve been on medications for 38 yrs, I mostly take mine with meals so I’m ok but there have been a few times I look at the bottle on the table and ask myself did I take them? I look to see if it looks like my drink is lower in the glass ,but you have medicine in you already , if you have more pills to take later I wouldn’t do and get it next dose

Everyone reacts differently, when forgetting to take the AED meds. Some might seizure right away, some can go an hour before seizure , and then some can go longer .

I use a "weekly/daily Medication holder".
My pills are all sorted out for each day & I have a "system" where I take
my Dinner/Evening & then my next Morning Medication .
This helps me not get mixed up.
AND very rarely have I forgotten to take mt pills
I have forgotten to take my nightly 16 Units of Inslin, occasionally.
