Members,
It's very important to take your meds as perscribed. Alarms can be a helpful reminder. It may also be helpful to chart your meds and moods in Your Diary.
If anyone has other suggestions, we'd love to hear them!

i take effexor with a half-life of 24 to 28 hours so when I skip a dose I am sick !!!!
I have the the pill box and an alarm that goes off every day at 7pm that the family hears ... and I have to close. So if I miss the first warning I have my family to remind me and the alarm on my cell.
When I was taking my meds it happened to me too. I didn't know why I was so edgy and angry and so on.... Then I found a way not to forget them anymore. I kept them near the tooth brush. So it was impossible not to spot them in the morning.
well, I have been having two really horrible days - down, didn't want to go to work (a usual occurrence but worse than normal) and lethargic. I have come home each day and gone to bed, sleeping for 12 hours each night! I realized a bit ago - I haven't taken my meds in two days. It has initiated alot of negative self talk. I hope I can learn to nip that in the bud. I am just on the first session, charting my moods! I am very frustrated right now. I have a daily medication divided box, and the last two days are still in it! GEEZ!
