I click a button when taking my pill so I don't take it twice by mistake, it also alerts me if I've forgotten my dose. Not really ridiculous, but I wanted to feel included lol
I have had complex med schedules for an epileptic cat monitored by HA
frog I can't even remember to get my meds renewed let alone take them half the time. 30 days of pills last me upwards of 3 months before I get a new bottle. no wonder I'm so messed up
MedTimer (FOSS) and a 7-day pill organizer changed my life.
As I've gotten older, I've had to upgrade to one with AM/PM distinctions to balance the uppers and downers.
Also, you have ADHD. Talk to somebody about it.
Do you have it set to tell you after x amount of pills to pickup new ones and/or see your doc for refills?
That's genuinely useful.
this isn't bad!!!1one
I need this. Can you share?
