can't remember if I took my night meds
 
Hi,
I can't remember if I took my night meds. http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/ex...cratchchin.gif I think I did.
I guess I will notice more for sure in another hour or so. But then, tomorrow I will feel yucky for taking them late. I don't think that I should take extra.


But then, my night meds are Klonopin and an extra dose is better than skipping a dose.
Where is Waves when I need her?

OK.
I really have to get my pill boxes out and put the system together for the next week. I have lots of empty box systems.
I will do this as soon as I log off.
Then I promise to use the system.
And I promise to refill the little boxes next week. http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/cool0012.gif
I'm going to start doing everything I am supposed to be doing.

M.

I have had to do the pill boxes myself and trust me it does help! I know I feel yucky when I don't take my meds on time and I would hate it if you did the same. Invest a few bucks and get one! Wait you mentioned you already had one or some....nevermind.:rolleyes:

I have two pill organizers, one for Jackie and one for me. they have four spots per day and holds seven days, so I am really religious about refilling them and getting the rx's refilled on time because I know how awful I feel if I don't take my meds on time. I hope you took them Mari so you don't feel bad today. I paid a buck a piece for these boxes at the Dollar Tree we have here in town and am going to get two more the once a day kind that are big enough to hold all the vitamins we SHOULD be taking...LOL! :) But seriously, it's not that hard to keep up with them once you get started, just make sure you have filled them all and then you're good to go. :D

Getting into a routine what ever it is... works.
I hope you slept ok and that you are rested today.
What I do and works well for me is:
At 10pm I start watching my sara jessica parker show and inbetween commercials I start getting ready for bed.
I take out and lay out my cleanser, tooth brush and paste, my floss, I take my vitamins and for my night meds I take them right before going to bed...
so I put those in my little cup and saucer as a visual reminder.
so everything is on the counter and when I finish a step I put it away so that way I don't forget to do something.. and I hate watching commercials...
and usually the last thing I have sitting on there is that tiny cup and saucer with my night meds that I take after I am done watching my show. I have done this for years and seems to work...I used to forget to floss and this helps me do this task...that is if I remember to put the
floss on the counter!:rolleyes:

I keep my pills in the bathroom. And I, too, forget/can't remember sometimes.

I can tell by looking at the bottom of the glass -- is it wet (yes/no??). If it weren't for that glass, I'd be in a real pickle.

Oh, by the way, I'll be testing a new way of reminding people to take their meds. It's a bottle that dials into a central computer (but, the BEST PART, it also controls a colored light that will FLASH at you until you take your pill). Cool, huh!!

Hope you are feeling okay today. I don't think an extra Klonapin would hurt, depending on the dosage.

I take mine every night when I go into my bedroom to watch TV.

I also have to give my mom her night meds, so it helps me remember.

Whatever works......

Hugs, Nikko:hug:
