I also can avoid the chore of organizing all my pills myself; for which I used to make mistakes.

I'd thought of that but it's hard to find places to do that here plus it's not free .

I'm not on a lot of meds right now.
But one thing that helps is my ins likes me to use express scripts. It's a by mail with auto refills. Saves $ and time and trips to pharmacy.

just remember if your going to travel onto or thru a "federal" facality such as a military base ect ... it is a federal crime to have those rx's out of there original bottles ... I was helt in a locked room for 45 minutes once for a benadryl in my floor mat of my work truck ... I was told if it was a rx I would have been charged with a federal crime ... can we say 4 years ... and this was before 911 ... oh did I say I was asked to get out of my truck at gun point ... those feds do not play .... just saying ...

I tried the whole pill organizer thing, but I just shove everything in a small backpack in my bedroom, and I have the backpack hanging on the wall. I take my medications out as needed.

I'm on 10 meds and 3 supplements, so 13 bottles. Backpack makes sense because I can keep all my meds in one spot without them getting lost in my clutter. I can also take the backpack when I need to travel

Hmmm. In a big jumble in a drawer. Am I the only one?

Hey we're getting all kinds of answers here Daniel don't worry. I use an organizer now but I used to keep all the bottles on the bookshelf and open each one every night.

----walmart has craft boxes that are much bigger than regular pillboxes
I use one for my weekly meds, one for storage. You can see thru the lids to make sure you havent missed a dose
