: You should have no problems ...but consider using a day-of-the-week pill box to minimize the risk of doubling your dose. Go back to your usual dose.

You are not likely to experience significant side effects from the extra dose you took. However for the future using a pillbox or mobile apps among others should help in preventing such events from recurring.
