lipstickjunkie Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I feel like I'm struggling to manage all of the different meds I'm taking i.e. timing them correctly, knowing if I can take one with another. Any tips or suggestions? I feel as if I could open a pharmacy out of my bathroom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another bipolar bear Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Pill Box and an alarm helps me with all mine, it helps to get in a patten when talking them eg, i take mine before i eat breakfast and then before i have dinner and then before i got to bed, its now in my routine but to start with struggled to remember to take them. Also have the meds somewhere where you see them so you remember, i use to set an alarm on my phone to tell me when to take them but i don't need it any more. Pill box helps organize them so i know what i am taking and when. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpladybug Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I have two pillboxes - AM, PM (dinner) Bedtime. I fill it every Sunday. I could NOT manage all my meds without the boxes. As far as when to take your pills, and combining them well that is a discussion to have with your doctor(s). There should be instructions on the bottles. The phone alarms, if you have a smart phone, are a GREAT idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I load it Sunday and take my morning meds when I brush my teeth and my PM meds about 1 hour before I want to be asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lipstickjunkie Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Thanks everyone! I think I'll need to get a pill box. I also found an app for my iPhone that will give you alarm reminders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
