I always remember to take my meds. I have a weekly pill box so if I'm not sure if I took them I just need to check my pill box and then I know if Iv'e taken them or not.

Still IP so taking all my meds. Thinking of refusing to take Olanzapine (Zyprexa) tonight though as I have gained a lot of weight since starting it three weeks ago.

I didn't take my bedtime meds because I didn't feel like going to sleep.

Taking all my meds as I am IP but last night I refused Chlorpromazine as it was making me too sedated. Went from sleeping 12 hours to about 5 - 6 hours but feel better for it.

I've been having trouble remembering the cabergoline as I only take it twice a week. But other than that, since I can take all my pills at night, I've had no trouble.

It's weird taking pills again though. Before June I hadn't taken pills for over a year, since my AP was an injection and my AD was a patch. Now I take four to five pills a night, which I realize is not that mNy compared to some of you!

I've been taking all my meds, but slacking on taking supplements. I can't ever seem to remember those unless I use my pill box.

I think I forgot to take my Latuda after dinner last night but yesterday I refilled my weekly pill box. Today I did remember to take my morning meds.

I've been taking my Abilify daily for five years now. I don't plan to stop taking it until I die. I did stop taking it more than five years ago. I landed in the hospital each time I stopped. I did this straight for four years and had four hospitalizations- one for each year I stopped taking Abilify. Now, I take Abilify in the morning and have not missed a dose for five years straight. I have been out of the hospital for five years now. I can't say that I miss the hospital and plan to stay away from being hospitalized for being psychotic. I also cannot say that I don't have side effects. I do but they are tolerable. I am functioning and working. I am happy and coherent. I have no complaints about Abilify. Tomorrow, I go to the doctor to receive my three-month prescription for Abilify. It is not cheap overall. But, I'd rather spend money getting my Abilify from the doctor than being hospitalized. I think it is money well-spent. I would rather be compliant than be out of my mind!
Thanks for this!
