All my pills are gone from the boxes and it's such a chore to fill them. But taking them out of the bottles every day is even harder....

I never like starting to fill the pill box, but I always enjoy the process.

I want to get one of those really big pill boxes that I can put an entire month's pill supply in.

I always enjoy seeing my work accomplished at the end with all those pills in there.

I don't know why, but I kind of enjoy filling the pill box every week. It's sort of a reminder that I survived yet another week, I guess.

Im filling the boxes finally. My 15 year old is watching the movie with me. I commented that the pharmacy didn't give me the box with my Rexulti and that the price has gone up over $100. "That's why they couldn't afford to give you the box" he says. Lol

My boxes are awaiting me....I'm putting it off...I'll probably forget then when I want to go to bed there they will lay, empty and accusatory....waiting. I'll curse and get out the bag of pills and fill them, telling myself that next week I'll fill them during the day......next week I'll put it off .........................

I don't use a pill box, but I'm vigilant about taking my meds at the exact same time each day and I remember which ones. But there are many other mundane chores I avoid with all the stubbornness of a mule. I haven't gotten my mail in a month and I let laundry pile up for weeks. The "I don wanna" feeling is with me often. I've gotten into the habit of "talking" to the little girl in me who doesn't wanna do something and finding out why and "parenting" her. Sounds dopey when I say it, but it helps me a ton.

Sounds good to me.

I have too many pills . I need to get a pill box with bigger boxes, but it hasn't been on my radar as of late.

I use one for psych and medical meds , plus I have another for all my daily supplements.

It doesn't bother me , it's a reminder to get refills as it always seems Walmart forgets one or more , even tho I have auto fills

I usually have refills to get when I fill my boxes, too, since *I fill two boxes at once. I think they signed me up for auto-fill last week. We'll see if that works and I'll get a text telling me my scripts are ready. Up to this point, I'd had to call and ask to get my scripts filled by looking to see which were low myself.
