Answers:
Medications have what they call a half-life!. There is still some in your system!. Just get back on your schedule in the morning!. Wanting to hurt everyone isn't because you missed one dose! Try to figure out what else may be triggering those emotions!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You do not say how long you have been taking the meds!. or what type you are taking!.
You are taking care of a sick child, this is stressful whether or not you are on meds!.
I would suggest that you call the local pharmacy and ask them!. Depending on how long and what type of drug you are on will depend if you need to take it or if you can start the schedule in the morning again!. The body will build up the chemicals in some drugs that you will have it in you, so there-fore you have enough that you can skip one dose!.
I would talk to a pharmacist and good luck to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It would be helpful to now the medication!. If it is an anti depressant, the level does not drop that fast from ONE missed dosage!. If it is something like valium you would likely take it later in the day or more than once daily!. Please give us the med or you can e-mail me separately!.
But seriously if you Really feel like you may hurt someone you need to take a time out and have someone take over for you for a bit!. Again e-mail and lets chat!. God Bless ReggieWww@Answer-Health@Com

Do not be in panicky!. Others also share your feelings and get worried!. Bring less worry to others!. Try to solve the worries of other people!.

You should not have forgotten!. Per chance even if you have forgotten once, heaven is not going to fall!. You can take it when you reach home back!. One cannot hurt others without hurting oneself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It should be fine- just take it in the morning at your regular time!. The drugs stay in your system for awhile but it helps to stay on a regular schedule!.
