Does anyone else have this problem? I just forget whether I’ve taken it or not. And if I wait too long to see if it kicks in, everything gets delayed… I bought a small weekly pill organizer, and it works, but I’m not a big fan of it. Plus, I often forget to refill it, which brings me back to the original problem. How do you all handle this? Any ideas?

Now that I’m taking way less meds, it’s slightly easier to remember. However, I now get this annoying ‘frozen motivation’. Like I see the meds there and know I’ve not taken them but just don’t have the energy or will to actively take them. Instead I just look at them, weigh up how I might feel if I miss them, and then decide not to bother to take them at all and just wait until the next day. AWFUL!
I use a pill organizer. It works most of the time. Also, I have 2 reminders on my phone to take my meds. Every Sunday evening I get the reminder to refill the pill organizer. Still, sometime I forget the refill or to take my meds. But I didn't find a method that works better for me.
Gosh so often
A pill sorter works for me. Just part of my routine 😊 we have to work hard to create routines - keep trying until you find something that works. Add a task ‘take medication’, and also a weekly task ‘refill medication’ if you need
Add “take pills” to your morning/evening routine in Numo and check it when it’s done. You can specify all the different pills in subtasks. Also, add “refill pill organiser” as a weekly task on Sunday, for example.
You can use Health app to log your medications if you use an iPhone. I never take my meds without it.
I have 2 weekly pill organizers, so I only have to refill my meds once every 2 weeks! And I have it set up to where I refill it on my most laid back days, Sundays! And I have it so it runs out on Sunday afternoons, so I don't even have to refill it first thing in the morning. This has worked really well for me!
I bought the dose medbox! It is connected to my phone and I press a button on the pillbox to confirm I took the medicine! And if I forget to take it, it beeps annoyingly until I do 😅
