It doesn't seem like anyone on this thread anyway just pops pills without trying to cope first.

The funny thing is that the list was actually my idea. Pdoc explained about using meds when you would still be able to cope, means you won't be able to cope at that level anymore at some point. I suggested I write down my use so he could keep an eye on it.
Nowadays he usually just ask whether I've taken any, but that is mostly to get additional information on how I am doing. If I've had a lot of PRN for agitation, it's another indication of my agitation.
Also adding to the list about when I didn't use the PRN was mostly for my own sake and insight, not for his. I just wrote it in the same notebook.
