i have a box that has the days on it. once a week i refill it.the first thing in the morning i take them [most of the time] i hate having to take them but that seems to work for me!

I have to take mine at night because of the sedative effects they have. I have a deck with a mirror in my closet, I usually go there at the end of the day to get my clothes ready for the next, etc. I have the meds sitting on the desk where I can see them. This helps.

Another tip, my boyfriend puts his meds in front of the coffee in the cabinet in the kitchen. When he goes to make his coffee in the morning, the meds are right there in front of it. He used to forget to take them a lot, however, he doesn't too much any more.

I have to use one of those plastic container. labled mon through sunday. It works for me . Is easy to forget them

I have one of those daily pill holders, but my husband is my best alarm clock. I have to grow up and fend for myself as far as that goes. I am getting better though. Oh, if you have a cell phone you can set the alarm to go off the same time everyday.

my Service Dog helps me.

Some I have to take when I get up, on empty stomach. Some I have to take AFTER I eat, but not in conjuction w/other meds! Some I have to take at night. MIND BOGGLING!!! I haven't found a way to figure it out yet.

I just set a little reminder on my cell phone, or you can get one of those watches that has an alarm on it.

thanks, just remembered to take mine. i used to use a daily pill box, but don't even know where it is...i hate filling those things anyway...

see.. I have tons of those little boxes.. somewhere! god help me get organized I might not be such a flake

I keep meds in my nightstand table. As part of my night time routine, I get meds out, use chapstick & lotion which are also
in my nightstand. Often, I'll set out my
AM meds then, so I see them first thing in the morning. I also take some meds during the middle of the day, so they are in my purse. I try to associate them with eating, and take them with lunch. (I don't have any problem remembering to eat. LOL) If I'm manic, and really have trouble remembering if I've taken them or not & the dosage (i.e. of Seroquel that I titer duing mani) I keep a log. I have also used the alarm clock on my cell phone as a reminder.

keeping a log? I need to do that for a lot of reasons.. thanx dani!! I'm going to try it

+ thanx everyone for responding.. It is comforting to know I'm not alone struggling with such a seemingly 'simple' issue
