If you will put your meds in an organizer and keep them somewhere you will not be able to miss (mine sit right next to my favorite chair in the living room), you will always be able to tell if you've taken them or not. It will keep you from playing the "I feel so good I don't think I need me meds" game. Not taking your meds regularly will cause them to not work correctly which often is quite obviously to everyone but ourselves. I can always tell if my husband hasn't been taking his meds even though he doesn't recognize the changes in his own thinking and behavior.
