Hi Char!

At home I use an ice cube tray with 16 compartments. I fill it with each morning med and vitamin and cover it with a 1 gallon plastic bag. I keep it in the kitchen drawer. I like it because I can fit all the pills in it and don't have to refill it as often. I also have a big pill holder for the days that I work. I fill that the same time as the ice cube tray so I get 23 days worth before I have to do it again.


I keep a little ramekin cup in the drawer with the ice cube tray. The night before I take one day's worth of pills out of the tray and put them in the cup. Then I take them in the morning after breakfast.

On work days I can't eat until I get to the office so then I use the pill holder.

It empties before the ice cube tray so I refill it from that and use until both are empty and need to refill in 23 days.

The reason I can't eat until after breakfast is that I take a Nexium when I wake up with a glass of water and have to wait an hour before I have anything else to eat or drink.

This works well for me since I take so many pills.

At night I only take one pill now so I just keep that bottle on the counter and take one right before I go to bed.
