If you still have the phamplet that came in the package...read it. It tells you waht to do if/when you miss certain pills. I think your doc is wrong..you need to take the ones you missed (at least that is what every dr i have ever had told me). And it is not all at once. Take one as soon as you realized you missed it (or w/ your next pill if its soon) and then double up on your next pill session. Don't take more than 2 at a time. Hope this helps.
