Took my morning on time and my evening just now when I saw this thread. Hoping to go to sleep soon.

Took my morning and afternoon, except I skipped the afternoon Artane. Need to get that on the schedule.

I've taken my meds today, yup. Yesterday, I skipped my morning dose until later because I hadn't filled my pill boxes yet.

Forgot my evening meds but when I woke up at 3 am I realised and took them then. I can't miss a dose as I am having my Lithium levels taken on Monday.

I never missed a dose in 13 years. It sounds like this is rare?

I have a new med for high prolactin that I'm supposed to take twice a week. How the hell am I going to remember to take something just twice a week? I decided to take it Tuesday and Friday and set up recurring reminders in my phone. I just hope my reminders actually go off as I've been having issues with the app. I did remember to take it today.

Out of fear, I didn't take my full dose of Seroquel last night. I didn't take anything out of the norm today, but I nearly fainted and had to call 911. I hope it isn't related to not taking the full dose of Seroquel for two days in a row....it sounds doubtful.

Maybe it's just because I forgot to eat, and I'm not strong enough healthwise yet. I'll take the full dose of Seroquel tonight since I do not plan to take a pain pill.

I remembered to take my meds today and I still feel like crap. It's all a lie -- this pretending to be ok. Viewing life through this mask of medication. I'm tired of popping pills every day just to get out of bed. Decide to sleep in and I can forget it. I can't even lift by head off the pillow. This is crazy. I'm so over it.

I've forgotten to take my night meds twice this past week due to extreme sickness, not intentional. I think these pills are making me very sick physically or at least adding to my already much to much sickness. I will keep taking them for now but need to talk to my doctor about my concerns I guess.

Just took my first dose of latuda with dinner. It will be hard to remember to take it with dinner every night, especially since I eat out a lot. But I can't imagine having dinner and then eating another 350 calories before bed. I'm trying to lose weight.

Just FYI with Latuda. About 2-2.5 hours after taking it, I get really lethargic/sleepy. If I take it with dinner at 6, I'm usually dragging by about 8 or so. It's a really weird feeling, not necessarily sleepy, but more a heaviness in my limbs and eyelids. I just want to lay on the couch or in bed.

I typically take it about 8 and shoot for bed around 10 or so.
