Gearhead Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Set an alarm on your phone to tell you when, and get one of these: https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/ezy-dose-7-day-classic-pill-reminder,-large-(colors-may-vary)/ID=prod6143312-product They also make double-sized ones for am/pm if you need to take meds twice a day.

mikl_pls Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 They make some that have two doses and four doses too. They also make some fancy ones that lock and automatically rotate to the next dose and have alarms on them (see my most recent blog entry). I like two apps: one is called Med Helper, the other is called Medisafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netsavy006 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I use a pill box to organize my medications. Can't advise on the time issue as I can remember when it's time to take my meds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit37 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I’m fine with remembering my normal meds, because I take them with my nighttime routine. Do you have a regular something you can associate with it, like brushing your teeth, or coffee? If I on the rare occasion have to take something else, like an antibiotic, I keep a small notepad next to it. Just write the day (even abbreviate it) and make an x or check next to it when you take it. Especially helpful if you take something multiple times a day. You can instantly see how many x’s you’ve made for that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notloki Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I use Google Calendar which will send multiple notifications based on events I set up over a web page to my phone. So for a doctors appointment I'll get a notification a day in advance and then several the day of the appointment. That plus a pill organizer. If there is a serious question to if I did or did not take my pills I default to the essential Metformin and Keppera, which it is OK to double dose occasionally.
