You should be OK: This is not a catastrophe. The maximum therapeutic dose is 200 mg./day , so 100 mg. is not dangerous. You may experience some side effects, avoid alcohol use. To be safe, notify your doctor who knows what other drugs you may be taking. I recommend an inexpensive pill box that holds your meds for an entire week, one section/day. You load it up once/week when you are alert and careful. Easy!
