Every time I see a new psychiatric professional and they ask me what meds I've tried. Um. Hmm. Where to begin? What haven't I been on? Do you have a list I can just check off or do I need to spend the next 5 minutes trying to remember them all? Oh, sorry, did I mention that one already? They all start to blend together after awhile. How about when I say that I've tried almost all of them you just listen to me. Okay? Thanks.

Maybe it's a test to see how well you handle frustration...?

I know how you feel. I always feel like a total idiot and can never remember all the meds I have taken. I finally just put an entire list together and stored it in my cell phone.
My pharmacy's website has my prescriptions on file going back about 2 years. Because of this, I was able to get dosages and dates together. Everything before that I had to do by memory. I pulled up the list and handed over my cell phone to the last doctor I saw. He commented on how helpful it was that I had it all ready for him. |

I spent time writing down a comprehensive list including dates and dosages taken. I keep it in Microsoft OneNote so I can reference it from my cell phone. It's come in very helpful.

I was hospitalized for three years from 1999-2002. I tried to get my records. They're destroyed after 7 years. I keep my med records in Excel now so that I can access from anywhere. I have records for the last 9 years. It's something. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
