It's hard to remember to take them when you're feeling bad. I use a dossette box to hold a weeks meds. I used to have to set alarms on my phone to remember to take them. Otherwise you could take them when you brush your teeth or something. Though I often forget that when I feel bad.

There is a theory that episodes damage your brain so if that's right not taking meds could be bad for your brain. But it's just a theory.
