Done all that, plus a back up stash in a pill box in the pocket. I can only take it with food, which means that the alarm can get turned off if I'm still cooking, and if I forget then it's late or not taken. Same if I'm out for dinner and forget the pill box (rare), or can't hear the alarm (common).

I'd also like Lithium as a last resort backup. It's the gold standard, and I would like to go through the others while I am young(ish) and have the Lithium in reserve.
