I only have one prescription that I "care" about and that's my asthma med so if I can't breathe, I remember :-) I'm too anxious to forget much "important", my memory has always been good.

I keep various papers around in places I know where they are; presciptions in wallets and I wait for them or I call them in and do the phone automation thing and that's complicated enough so it reminds me. I had my husband buy me a little tape "recorder" thingy for Christmas year before last (but it's complicated enough I haven't figured out how to use it yet :-)
