How many pills do you take daily (including vitamins, half pills as a pill, etc. anything you take counts).
Actual pills (I take more than one pill of a few meds):

Bipolar - 10
BP/tachy/choles - 3
Thyroid - 1
Multivitamin - 1
Sometimes other PRN

Total: 15 or sometimes 16 or 17 per day (8 in morn & 7 at night). I've taken more than this further in the past.

Question: How close to the same times per day do you tend to take your medications?
