Sat down to take a pill, got distracted by something and then not remembered if you've taken your pill or not?

I'm sitting here, looking at a bottle of Valium and I cant remember if I just took one or not. BRAIN FOG!!!! ARGH!!!

I'm taking it for spasticity and now that I cant remember if I took it or not, I dont know if I can take another one just in case I didnt take one.

I guess I'm calling the pharmacy to find out if another 5mg of Valium would be bad or not if I already took a pill.

edited to add: pharmacist said it's ok to take another one...maybe I'll sleep better?

Sleep well . . . I imagine you will.



I do this all the time . . . only I leave my little dish of pills on the counter, walk away and think I took them, until I find them hours later! Some of them are for Crohn's and need to be taken at regular intervals . . . what a bother!

yep. this is why I have a pill box out. when I take my PM pill, I put my AM pills into the box. No pills in the box, means I forgot my pills, and later during the day if i check the box, and it still has pills, it means I forgot the AM ones. Have to trick myself some days.

I also have a pill box. It has both a am and pm section.

Same with me, I have developed a system to know if I have taken a pill.

The only thing I take regularly is baclofen and sometimes valium for spasticity.

I'm starting to think that I didnt double up on the valium last night. I didnt sleep very well. Woke up this morning with a killer headache. (my brain really hurts right now)

I had a mild headache last night, it's not mild anymore. I have to get away from my computer screen in a minute or two before my eyeballs explode. I'd go back to bed but my back and shoulders hurt so bad that I cant get comfortable.
