I've been trying to hard to be med compliant, but the last 3 months I've been struggling. I keep forgetting to take my meds. I have a special pill holder that marks out my morning and evening doses. I have a sticky note on the bathroom mirror and the kitchen window. My husband has tried reminding me in passing. My problem is that I remember, but then on my way to take the pill I get side tracked my one of the kids or my husband. I take care of the problem, issue, request and then I found that I completely forget to take the medication. I do this many times a day until at bedtime when the house is quiet and I'm getting ready to collapse and I can think about me for a few minutes. It is then that I suddenly remember and take the pill, but at that point I've forgotten one whole dose of one of my meds! I'm only taking half of my prescription of Venlafaxine a day. Can anyone relate?

I’ve found a definite dip in my mood and I’ve been coping, but not feeling very well. I get overwhelmed a lot more easily, I tend to snap and overreact, and I’m starting to feel really down. Why can’t I remember to take my pills?!?! How hard is it to find the time to put the pill in my mouth and swallow?!?! Ughhhhhhh!
