If you double the dose of Alli I heard that this is that the same as prescription Meridia?
Doubling the dose would be equivalent to a dose of the medication Xenical, a diet medication. The dose of Xenical is 120 milligrams and you take it 3 times a day. The dose of Alli is 60 milligrams and you take it 3 times a day.
What if you double dose Wellbutrin 350mg?
Why would you double dose? 700mg would be a large dose! If you miss a dose take it as soon as you remember then take the next dose at the normal time. Unless you are already close to the next time you should take it. Then just wait. I would never double dose a medication. Talk to your doctor if it is not working for you.

Can you restart heartworm prevention without a heartworm test?
It is not advised to restart heartworm medication without a heartworm test. One of the reasons is that if the dog is heartworm positive, the adults are in the heart and causing pathology to the heart, blood vessels, and lungs, with many of these changes causing severe, irreversible damage. The preventative does not KILL the adults so this pathology will continue. The second major reason is that if the dog does have heartworm disease and the adult worms are producing microfilariae, when the preventative is given it will kill the microfilariae. The sudden death of the microfilariae can cause a severe anaphylactic (allergic) reaction which could be life-threatening for the pet. If you have regularly been giving the heartworm preventative and miss a month or two, there is a risk that your dog could have been bit by a heartworm infected mosquito during that period and is now developing heartworm disease. However, the heartworm test detects the presence of adult worms and it takes a few months until the worms have reached the adult state.The adults do not start producing the microfilariae until 5-7 months post infection. So if only one or two doses were missed it would be reasonably safe to start the preventative, but be certain to check a heartworm test in 6 months or so. The most important consideration is to stay on the preventative year round and not miss a dose. It is an easily preventable disease. If you do miss a dose or two, check with your veterinarian and follow their recommendations for follow up heartworm testing.
