Forgetting to take meds

It's such a common problem...how do you remember to take your meds? I use the alarm on my cell phone.

Before that I used to use the shirt method. Look at the sleeve on your shirt as you take the pills and then you can remember which day you took the pills by the color of shirt you're wearing.

Or there's the ever popular mtwtf pill sorter. What do you use? Any good tips?

I use the mtwtf pill box plus take my morning and evening doses with a meal

soon has you get up make it the first thing you do, im lucky my wife sorts me out my memory is shot.

If you cant do it yourself with pill boxes which are sometimes free as they were this weekend at walmart, then You need to turn to someone else to help u start to get on track with it. My daughter does my meds cause i would not take them or take too many, it is better to try and get in the habit than have to wait on someone else.

I take the same thing every morning and every evening. I put out my evening pills in the morning so it's a reminder to me that I hadn't taken the evening pills yet and if it's later in the day and nothing is out I know I forgot to take the morning pills!

If you're taking different pills on different days it might be easiest to use the MTWTF pill sorter.

I use the MTWThF pill sorter. But sometimes I still fall asleep before taking my evening meds, and don't know until morning. Or sometimes i will get busy in the morning and fail to take them and won't know until I go to take my evenng meds. But those cases are rare and in between. The pill sorter really helps me know whether or not I took my meds, so I don't take them twice by mistake.

I use a pill box. Otherwise, I would never be able to remember. But I can just look and see if the box for W is empty or not and if it is, then I've taken my meds.

We all make mistakes if taking lot of meds,

I just do, the main issue I might have is going somewhere other than my house for the night, forgetting to bring them and then I would still remember but I wouldn't have them to take.

But I only have effexor and trazodone not a bunch of different ones, and I just use the trazodone for sleep sometimes.

MTWTFSS pill sorter that has AM, Noon, Eve, and Bed compartments and I put it where I see it all the time. I'm always at my computer so the pill sorter is on a shelf next to my computer with a large glass of water as well. It definitely keeps me on track.
