yes, you definitely need some sort of mechanism/routine you can easily observe, so as to know precisely what has gone down the gullet and what has not.

Waves,
Yes. You describe it exactly.

i made myself take the meds sitting in front of the log. i would
1. swallow the meds and
2. mark the log.
in that order and without activities in between 1 and 2 not even going to the bathroom. that way, i felt safe that if my log was marked i had taken the meds. if it was not marked, i had not taken the meds.

I can do something like that . .. . just not now. My head will feel clear and my house will be organized in May.
Two or three weeks ago I took too much gabapentin. I felt foggy and crappy the next day. I am thankful it happend on a weekend. I open the capsule, dump more than half, close the capsule back up and put it down next to my other meds by color. The opened closed capsule looks like the capsules that come straight from the factory.
I actually dump the powder I don't want and leave it on a paper towel until the next day so that I know that I have visual proof that I took my meds.
Mdoc needs to write a new script. I have to see her soon but I do not know when I can get the time. She does not go in on Thursdays. That leaves me with only Tuesday to see her.. . . too complicated. I used to make Tuesday appts and then cancel when something "important" showed up in my calendar for Tuesday. Finally I stopped making appts.
