I use one of those weekly pill organizers for exactly this reason. If I forget whether or not I took my meds today it’s easy to confirm

I set alarms on my phone until I got in the routine of taking meds with breakfast and before bed, and I always keep the medicine organizer visible in the kitchen so I see it every day when I get up and when I go to put my cup from the day in the dishwasher. But that also builds on those routines as well. The app AMdroid has been essential since I can set different sounds for different alarm categories and make them more or less persistent anf it’s easy to skip one when I remember without having it annoy me later when it goes off, but still not have to disable the alarm entirely and forget to turn it back on. And it’s way more reliable than Google Tasks or some other takes apps, and is an alarm sound that I have to stop instead of a single notification sound that I’m likely to ignore. Anyway, there are other apps with similar functions. But the right app can make all the difference. I have it set up for several things I do everyday since I can’t form habits, at least until I form a reliable routine which usually doesn’t happen unless there’s some event to trigger it that I can’t ignore, like waking up or going to bed.

This is why you get a pill organizer. That and so you can check if you took your meds that day.

This is part of why blister packs are vital!

I always take my pills at the same time I put on deodorant. It means I can quickly check if I took it.

This is going to be wilder than I thought. 12 hours in, still legs shaking and eyes wide open. I even made a fruit and raw veggie plate instead of binge eating candy at night, omg! I feel like a raver with a plate of apple slices. Plus side: Still killing it with the todos.

Vyvance worked perfectly for me for a week. Doc wanted to just raise the dose but I was so creeped out by how fast I acclimated I switched. Concerta worked and I didn’t acclimate to it, but now I just feel the doom all the time. Sigh

I take 40mg in the morning and 20 at noon, when I take the afternoon dose I put the 20mg tab on top of the morning one. Now I just need a system to actually remember taking the afternoon one :/

I accidentally took 4 times the amount of dexamphetamine once because I thought the pills were 2,5mg instead of 10mg. At school the teacher complimented me saying he had never seen me as invested in the lesson as I was…
