For some people, missing one pill can affect them. If I missed my morning time AD, I'd be feeling seriously ill by evening (withdrawal effect) but it never affected one son. But what he noticed is a few days later, he'd be much more miserable & low. The meds didn't work enough to ever lift his depression (I think his blood levels didn't rise enough on it) but he sure noticed his depression was MUCH worse a few days later.

One psychiatrist told me about a fellow doctor who only had migraines on weekends. Through the week & all the pressures of work, he was fine. Come the weekend when he wanted to relax, do whatever he enjoyed, he'd be sick with the migraine all weekend. Monday, it would fade & the whole thing would repeat.

It was found that while his stress levels were higher during the week, it prevented the migraine. But when he relaxed, his body let go too & it would always hit. I forget how he got around it so he could enjoy his weekends, but I know he did find a solution.

Perhaps something similar is happening with you? Does the social situation change on the weekend? Is your environment different? Different people you're around? Explore the social context rather than the physical context & see if there may be factors that cause it.
