Not on purpose but more often than not it’s been happening. Perhaps that’s all contributing to all of this. The mental health nurse said your mind is occupied on so many things

Do you have a reminder system to help you remember your meds, like a pill box, or setting a reminder on your phone?

I have an alarm on my watch that goes off twice a day. I also have a relative who harasses me as much as possible.
No harm in asking someone to remind you if you forget.

That happen to me a couple of years ago. I had to consciously re-train myself to get back in the habit. For me it was just being conscious and making a mental note to emphasize remembering to take them. And soon I vastly improved in taking them regularly.

What started happening to me a few years ago when I was driving my Mom to chemo and radiation appointments, I’d get back to my apartment, lay down and sleep right through my olanzapine dosage some nights. I was missing 2 or 3 doses a week, so that was what was causing my dysphorias, I think. Yikes!

I’ve had instances where I get so sleepy that I sleep through my dose and wake up hours later in the middle of the night to take my meds… Yikes… and now I am in a “relapse” and hallucinating due to forgetting… My daughter and son reminds me, but sometimes I just forget to even after they tell me to… Things are getting better though. Sometimes it takes a village.
Pill boxes, phone reminders, and someone to call you or someone who see’s you daily to take meds could be helpful.

I’m a stickler for doing the same thing everyday and every now and then I’ll miss a dose. Not so bad for most meds but some really do make you feel it.
Pill box is good. Luckily out here a lot of our packaged meds come with days on them like womens birth control pills in some markets. Really makes a difference when you see that you missed one. Saying that. Pill box really good.
