Short answer

**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.

Common questions

What happens if you miss a dose of Amoxapine?

If you miss a dose of amoxapine, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take two doses at once to make up. A single missed dose rarely causes serious harm, but repeated missed doses or stopping suddenly can reduce treatment effect and may lead to return of depressive or anxious symptoms or withdrawal type symptoms. Contact your prescriber promptly if you miss multiple doses or if you have new or worsening mood changes, severe agitation, or suicidal thoughts.
