Is Taking Double Dose Of Levothyroxine A Concern?

I take one 88mcg Levothyroxin every evening at bedtime. Tonight, however, I can t remember if I already took one or not. Which is worse: taking too much or not taking enough. What should I do to make sure I don t place myself in a critical situation?
