i forgot to have dinner last night (i fell asleep), so i'm eating dinner for breakfast. i can't believe i missed out on my four 100mg (delicious) lamictal tablets. yum!

i can't believe i slept through my alarm. d'oh

do you have a colorful "diet"? what is your "diet" like? do you have to eat food with your "meals"?

Breakfast of champions!

Yes. One of my pills says take after meals.
I only eat when I'm hungry though.
When bananas come up they ripen fast. So it's shakes, banana pancakes,bananas foster.
We eat lots of pasta. With Speg sauce. In butter and garlic. Mac n cheese. Yum.
Apples and cheese. Mustard and onion flavored pretzels.
Coconut rice. Grapefruits are ripening on tree.

Fortunately, I don't have to eat with any of my meds and I'm glad, because I don't always eat at the same time every day and am bad about skipping meals, so it doesn't work well when I have to take one with food.

fussiest eater, ever

if it's not chicken based (or sausage based), or sugary, I don't eat it.

even when it comes to veg and i'm asked what veg I like, i'm like potato.. but it has to be shaped in to a chip

(I can't actually eat veg, my body won't accept it)

I have to take Latuda with food so I end up taking a bunch of pills after breakfast. Then another batch at night before I go to bed. Only have to take Neurontin at 2PM. It sucks but it's keeping me stable.

I'm supposed to take Geodon with breakfast and dinner, but I don't eat "breakfast" until after 1 PM and I eat dinner around 6, so I'd end up taking them too close together. I also have trouble remembering to take pills in the late morning and early evening. So I take them with all my other meds, which I know I shouldn't do but I just can't eat when I'm not hungry.

Mine isn't as colorful as your breakfast. White, with one brown pill. That's my breakfast.

Oh... and there's a blue pill. So I guess it is sort of colorful.

I wasn't going to look at this post, but I'm glad I did! I needed a laugh. We all (at least most of us) take so many pills!

I remember looking at my grandparents pills thinking "damn! That's a lot of pills!" And here I am.

Lol!
Thanks for this!

I have lots between psych meds and vitamins and stuff.

Personally I think any and all psych meds should be bright and wildly colored. Who really wants to take that cement gray colored Lamictal ! Boo hiss !

I second colorized in neon pills. Lime green, hot pink, electric blue...much pretty breakfast

I'm supposed to eat with my night meds but it depends. Usually take a peice of cheese with em.

When I saw the title I was thinking along the same lines as fuzzy. Champagne and cornflakes.

I gather you're taking the 400mg of Lamo at the same time.
There are 200mg pills that are not difficult to swallow. 2 pills less. Bon apetite.

Use dark rum and coke (the drink) and all will look alike.
