No: You should just restart the medication as prescribed. Do not take extra.

No: Really not a good idea. In the future, make every effort not to miss. Taking double the dose would put you at some risk for rapidly getting T4 too high.

Not really : You should not take 5 missed dose in one day continue taking your medication as prescribed daily not missed dose . Talk to your doctor if concerned.
