I forgot if I had taken my meds or not. So, I’ve taken them now (again?)
I honestly can’t remember!
Luckily you can’t overdose on my meds.
What do you do when you’re not sure? It doesn’t happen to me normally.

I havent forget in awhile but I usually just skip the dose if Im not sure. One dose usually didnt make that much difference for me.

I usually take it again if i cant remember if i took it because its a low dose and wont hurt me. Sometimes i take twice the dose anyway.

For Wellbutrin and Tranxene I take a low dose so it’s definitely not an issue.
I take the max dose of Invega (12 mg) but I read it’s very hard to overdose on it, so I should be safe.

Usually it’s advised to wait until your next dose. I usually just take it again.

Once I took 40mg of zyprexa by accident. I started shaking like hell!

If I start to shake, I’ll call my doc (or maybe just rest on my bed).

If I skipped just one dose I would probably be dead meat to-morrow

They have trays with a pocket for each daily dose so you can tell if you have taken your med’s or not. They help me a lot.

The Parkinsonism and TD I get is a good enough reminder.

I’m usually very good and remembering my meds.
My pharmacy gives them to me in dispill with dates and times of day to make things easier
In the past when I wasn’t sure, I just skipped the dose and resumed the next day

I use an app on my phone for med reminders. I only and always mark it as taken immediately after I’ve taken it. That way I know for sure

I have a pill box but I never use it.
I forget whether I have taken my pills only a couple times a year and don’t feel like making the effort every week.
I have a pill organizer with one compartment for each day. I put three medications in it. That way it is easier to keep track of. It is a simple solution, but it works.
