I find that a daily pill container beside my computer (where I usually go first thing everyday) and then I am always reminded to take them and also since they are separated by day I know if I miss any days also. Usually if I do miss a day I know within a few hours though as I get a brutal migraines. I am always worried about taking it late though that I am taking them too close together and that can be bad, should probably ask the pharmacist about that.
I think for the police issue I would make sure that I had a separate compartment for them in my purse with nothing else in it. I can't imagine anything worse then being arrested for following doctor's orders, lol.
Well, I have a pill holder and if I move it - I'm in trouble(I don't move it - I bought another one for travel). But sometimes I have to go and look to see if I took it.
I'd like to carry just one of each in my purse or two even, but one is a controlled substance (benzo) and I don't want to get caught with it not in it's proper container or a police officer seeing the bottle as I get my license out if stopped for something and think I am under the influence. In the US, can get a DUI for being under the influence of prescription medications. lol, I haven't had a speeding ticket or anything in years - am I being paranoid.
I just wanted to mention (as I am sure many of you know), missed meds can be scary! I accidentally forgot to take my meds this morning, and I regretted it all day. When I was about 8 hours late for my meds, I was starting to feel really down and blah. The first thing I did was take my meds when I got home. While I was out, I made sure to buy a small pill jar to keep in my purse so this doesn't happen again. I put 2 of each kind of med in it. Now, if I miss taking the meds at home, I have a backup plan.
