So far, yes. I am debating whether to should only take 1/2 of my PM pill of Lamictal or the whole thing. The reason I a wondering this, is because, I have been struggling with severe stomach problems today. I want to take it, but I am afraid of getting more sick.

Anytime I have a question I call my pharmacy. They are 24 hours. I find the pharmacy managers to be very helpful. Good luck

I took my meds, refilled my pill box, laid down to settle in for the night and started vomiting. Happy New Year

Oh no....do you have some ginger ale, Sprite or 7-up? Even a fresh lemon will help settle your stomach. Sorry this happened to you. I hope you feel better soon.

Last night I was still wired before bed when I'm usually starting to relax and I couldn't figure out why until I finally remembered I forgot to take my supper meds. Oops! I took them late so I ended up going to bed late, but at least I remembered!

I’m glad everyone remember. I always believe taking it late is better than not at all.

I'm supposed to take my med at 6 pm with a meal. My meal time changes, I get hungry earlier sometimes and sometimes later. I've forgotten my med twice but remembering is hard. I even have a separate pill container in my purse with a few pills just in case I'm out to dinner or something and need my med. This med really interferes with my life unlike my prior med that quite working but I like what it does for me.

Hello there,
I’ve been there. I use to carry my med around with me too. Hang in there. I set reminders on my cell phone. You can always take your med with crackers, jello or a yogurt. Best wishes

It’s ok it has to everyone. Be gentle with yourself and try again. Maybe set a reminder on your cell phone will help. Best wishes

Soooo.... I forgot my Temazepam before going to bed on Wednesday. I fell asleep though but woke up at midnight and wouldn't fall asleep again. It was around 3am before I realized I forgot to take the pill but at this time I didn't want to take it. I ended up calling in sick anyway after not sleeping all night and feeling awful.

I forget my vyvanse all the time but its not crucial. I'm proud to say I haven't forgotten lithium or zoloft even once in 3 months.
Thanks for this!
