How do you remember to take your medication?

HI BOBBYSMOMMY, I HAVE A BRAIN INJURY, AND FOUND NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRIED, I COULD NOT REMEMBER TO TAKE MY MEDS. I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE PILL BOX METHOD, AND HAVE STRUGLED FOR YEARS. I HOWEVER, DID FIND SOMETHING THAT HAS HELPED ME ENORMOUSLY. EACH NIGHT, I PUT ALL THE MEDS I NEED TO THE NEXT MORNING, IN AN OLD PILL BOTTLE, AND SET IT ON MY DRESSER. I HAVE AN ALARM CLOCK WITH TWO ALARMS. SO AT NIGHT, I SET THE ALARM FOR THE FIRST TIME I NEED TO TAKE MY MEDS IN THE MORNING, AND I ALL READY HAVE THE PILLS, IN THE BOTTLE, SET BACK ON MY DRESSER. I THEN SET THE ALARM FOR THE SECOND TIME I HAVE TO TAKE THE MEDS. IN THE MORNING, AFTER I TAKE THE FIRST DOSE, I HAVE ALL READY SET THE ALARM FOR THE SECOND DOSE, SO I KNOW ALL I NEED TO DO IS PUT THE NEXT MEDS IN THE NOW EMPLY PILL BOTTLE. I FOLLOW THE SAME PROCEEDURE AND RESET THE ALARM ALL DAY, AND EACH TIME, TAKE THE MEDS. AND THEN PUT IN WHAT I NEED TO TAKE NEXT. ONCE YOU GET THE HANG OF IT, IT REALLY WORKS. I ALSO DO IT FOR THE MEDS I NEED TO TAKE AT NIGHT. THAT WAY, I KNOW THAT I AM TAKING THE MEDS AT THE TIME PRESCRIBED, AND HAVE THEM SPACED EQUALLY. THERE ALSO WRIST WATCHES WITH ALARMS, BUT I DO NOT HAVE ONE OF THEM YET. THIS TECHNIQUE HAS BEEN WORKING FOR ME, FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, AND IT IS THE FIRST TIME I AM ACTUALLY REMEMBERING. GRANTED, IT IS HARD WHEN THE ALARM RINGS AND YOU ARE HAVING A S., BUT SOMETIMES YOU JUST CAN'T CONTROL CIRCUMSTANCES, AND AT LEAST THIS WAY YOU ARE TAKING YOUR MEDS AS WELL AS YOU CAN, WITHOUT ENDANGERING YOURSELF. MY POST ICTALS CAN LAST 6 HOURS, UNLESS I HAVE HAD OTHER S. INBETWEEN AND DON'T NOW IT, SO YES, THAT DOES MAKE IT DIFFICULT. HOWEVER, AT LEAST I AM NOT OVERDOSING MYSELF!!! HOPE THIS HELPS YOU, IF NOTHING ELSE HAS! LORD KNOWS I TRIED EVERYTHING FOR YEARS!! JAN

i have timers around that go off when i need to take my meds and my pill containers are all out in the open where i can see them. not where i will forget about them. what if you have children you ask? well thts different then. also i have an extra stash of everything i take in my purse for when im at work or just not home when i know im gonna have to be taking my meds. p.s. on top of the fact that i have about a thousand different people nagging at me to remind me to take my medication...... im not bound to forget this time. my boyfriend (he's the worst but i love him anyway), my boss, my doctor, my asst. manager of the hotel, various relatives that see me..... when life gives you lemons... smell an orange
