Psychiatric oral meds are just Kemadrin , but I have another med for heartburn/indigestion . Those are in a dosette box . Even with the dosette box I sometimes forget.
I also have Laxido sachets for my chronic constipation . I should take 1-3 sachets a day, but regularly forget to take any .
The best reason I can think of is less than average executive functioning .
Get one of these. Problem solved.

You know what, I sometimes forget to take my meds too. I have an alarm set and everything but if I’m in the middle of doing something else I will finish what I’m doing and the thought will just fly right out of my head. I don’t know if I have less than average executive functioning or not but I do know I have crap memory for sure.
I used an app that reminds me to take my meds at the times I’m supposed to take them. It’s really helpful. There’s even a snooze option if I’m not able to take them right at that moment
I set multiple alarms then I will jot down the times I took my meds on my phone.
I also use a pill box.
This is very important.
I have dosette box but I’m too lazy to reload the fargin’ thing. Really. I had one ultra bad day last month where I think I took my blood thinners at least twice. Sneezing was not only messy, but I actually had to take iron after to cope with the blood loss. I know you’re not a huge fan of smartphones, but the free My Therapy app for Android really helped me out here. Haven’t screwed up doses, missed doses or doubled up since adopting the app.
It’s less that I dislike them , and more that I seriously doubt my ability to master using one well .
I use my smartphones many alarm capability for this reason. It took me a while to set it up, but, boy oh boy, does it help.
I hope you can get one or an alarm clock with dual alarms and battery backup.
Good luck! I can be reached by PM if you need help with this.
