I can definitely relate to you. I always forget my medications and my boyfriend thinks I just don't want to take them. Which isn't true. Like you stated, I just start feeling so good that I forget or I have too much on my mind. I guess I go in spells with my medications. A good way to remember it to leave your pills out on your nightstand, so that way when you wake up, you'll remember. Or leave a sticky note on your bathroom or bedroom mirror. Hope it works! Hugs. :)

You could leave a dosette by your clock and set your alarm each night.. when the alarm goes off your meds are there.. or leave them where you see them each morning and times you need them.. I leave the evening meds in a little dish at my bedside..

Get a 7 days of the week box with 4 boxes for each day, am, noon, supper and night. Fill it up and stick with it. When it is empty, start over.

If that doesn't work, get the bubble packs made at the pharmacy. They will phone you if you don't pick up the next week. I had a lithium overdose, because I was taking 22 meds and could never remember whether I took them once, more than once or not at all. I got the weekly pill box and I have never had another problem. It also showed me how many pills I was taking, and I managed to cut it more than in half.

Hope you can find a simple solution to this problem.

Fear of pain is my greatest reminder. I use to use those weekly med reminder packages but then when the week was up I would forget to fill them up again.

Suffering is one of my greatest fears so I try to remember to take morning and night meds. Mid day meds don't have a hope in hell for me.

when i would always forget my meds i would put an alarm on my cell phone, and have it set so it would go off every day. it really helped me and now its just part of my every day thing, i hope this helps.

I also use the alarm on my cell phone or I would always forget my morning meds. It's not easy when you are on so many pills to always remember them everyday.

I just take all my meds in the morning and night at one time during those specific periods of time. Are meds not to be taken together?

Hope this makes some sense.

I used to take meds am before eating(synthroid) than some after eating.the afternoon ones would never get taken. so now i take the early am one than take the rest in the evening.the sleeping or anxiety before bed and thats it.i never forget even though i am starting to feel better.i hate taking all these pills the taste the side effect. but i realize after so many years of not keeping up meds during good times nthat the crash was not worth it

I am with Ev and Angela. The med minders really work. I don't need mine anymore because I have gotten into a pattern and once I get into a routine I am fine. When I have a med change, I'll use my med minder again. Right now, I keep my medications in the same place every day so that I have that reminder as well.

Go to a site called moodtracker.com there you can program them to send you a text message everyday at the same time to remind you to take your meds. I get mine everyday an 10 am.

I do what they say, the little boxes. But I leave them on the counter ofmy bathroom.

Thanks there have been some very helpful things here that will hopefully help me out...meanwhile i'm trying to swim to shore in the middle of a hurricane...figuratively of course..

Out of sight, out of mind. Put them on your pillow, you will never forget that way.
