I feel really awful today - headache, nausea, some light flashes in my vision, and feeling like my brain is fighting with itself. I called telehealth to make sure I didn't need to go to a hospital, and they said I'd be ok in 24 hrs.
But I am seriously never doing that again. I just went out and bought one of those pill organizer boxes, Meds are going in that from now on.

A few weeks ago I was forgetting if I took my evening dose of risperidone or not, so I would just not take it out of fear that I didn't want to take it twice and then would figure out about 6 hours later that I hadn't taken it (but it would be too close to my morning dose to take it then, so I was just SOL). I too went and got a pill organizer box so I could just look in there and know whether or not I took it, it really does help me figure out if I took my meds or not.
Hopefully the pill organizer will help you too.
