ive never been in a situation where i had to take any serious medication for anything, but i totally understand hating having to take any. i was prescribed with vicodin or hydrocodone or one of those 'strong' pain numbing medications after i had Jace. i tore up the Rx cause i didnt want any of that stuff. scares me to tell you the truth!
how old are you?
what medication do you take?
I am lucky, the only pill I take is a multi vitamin

the having to remember it sucks!! thats why im on the Depo shot instead of the pill!! cant beat 1 shot every 3 months instead of 1 pill at the same time every.single.day!! :thumbdown
Have you tried using those medication dispenser/organizers? It helps especially if you're taking multiple meds at different times. Just a suggestion of course 
gotta love the depo shot lol
hell yeah!! no monthly visitor, no PMS, NOTHING!! been 'free' of all that crap for 5 years!! :thumbup:thumbup
I'm 30 i was in the hospital for a pulmonary embolism back at the end of August. They put me on Warfarin for 6 months. Been on it since I got out and have to be on til late feb.
have you mentioned that here before?! i didnt know that! things like that are pretty serious!
consider yourself lucky
If I remember correctly 6 months is the norm
alot of people are on Warfarin for life
oh im only complaining about my damn memory lol.

I don't see how people on long term meds do it....
Well, you've gotta try to know it
It comes in a variety of styles- I mean either per day or times of the day however your schedule is for your medication(s). When you prep your meds the day b4 or something then if you've forgotten to take a specific pill(s), you'll know as it would still be in the dispenser/Organizer :cool
Btw- those dispensers are actually meant for long term meds. Check those dispensers out at local drug stores
( Walgreens, Rite Aid or even Walmart and Target). See for yourself and check the different variety of designs that will suit your needs
I'm not a meds person I don't even take Vicodin if its offered to me for an injury.
i think hes referring to the fact of just taking a med daily not using a dispenser hun
I've got like 3 months worth of pills right now and the dosage per day differs everytime I get my blood checked so despensers probably won't work for the long term. i thought about getting pill bags tooBtw- those dispensers are actually meant for long term meds.
