What happens if you miss a dose of Amoxapine?
Last updated September 8, 2026.
**Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, but skip it if it is almost time for your next dose.** If you miss one dose, do not take a double dose to catch up. The exact effect depends on your dose schedule and how long you have been taking amoxapine. Repeated missed doses or abrupt stopping can reduce benefit or cause return of symptoms. If you miss several doses or notice new or worse mood changes, agitation, or suicidal thoughts, contact your prescriber right away.
What to do
- **If missed:** Take the missed pill when you remember unless the next dose is near.
- **Do not:** Double up to make up for a missed dose.
- **Set reminders:** Use alarms, a pillbox, or a phone app to take amoxapine at the same time each day.
- **If several missed:** Call your prescriber for advice about restarting or changing your dose.
- **Emergency:** Seek immediate care if you have new or worsening suicidal thoughts.
