I'm taking 200mcg daily and once in a while have trouble remembering to take it. My question is, how many days would you have to miss for it to be "reset" and have to wait that 6ish weeks for it to start taking effect again? I've missed 5 days in a row and am worried I screwed myself over and will have to wait a while to start seeing changes again.

Pharmacist here, speaking unofficially:

it would operate on more of a spectrum...The more days you miss, the lower your levels would be. I don't think you've screwed yourself over after 5 days. Have you noticed any symptoms since you've missed the doses?
