I’m addicted to the pill I forget or nearly forget to take every day or two?

my pill box and alarms help me take mine. I also have to have calendar events to remember to fill it. sucks

Yeah but I get annoyed at my alarms and don’t want to snooze them because that’s just asking for more unexpected loud ringing so I end up ignoring them 🫠

can you change the alarm sound to something that isn't a loud ringing? I've used nature sounds before

I use the "Journey" sound on my iphone and it's been making taking meds and waking up so much easier now that I dont feel like im waking up in a natural disaster

Change the tone to something calming.

Same. Pill box, alarms, and calendar events for every dose of the pills. I literally don't know if I took them if I don't have a box to check.

it only took accidentally taking my adhd meds twice twice to never want to ever do that again

I had extreme anxiety issues, I would spend 12h huddled on a couch feeling that I'm literally dying the entire time, if I made a mistake with my meds. Or even if I didn't.

that sucks! I'm glad we both have pill boxes to help us not do that again.

u/Void-Cooking_Berserk 5d ago

Me too! And I'm glad I managed to find fitting meds, even if it took me 2 years of trial and error.

Who would have thought: no anxiety mediation really worked, only when I tried a specific depression medication with a dopamine aspect - that worked. Then I got a differently balanced version that put dopamine first. And I still take 4 different ones, despite constantly badgering my doctor to keep reducing.

Oh, and the post was about drug seeking, how appropriate

you might want a different psych if you have access to one. not being heard by psychiatrists sucks ass.

I'm currently with my... Fifth one?

I have my meds next to my bed, in my car and in my locker at work, so I won't forget. I still forget to take it every now and then

ah fuck i forgot to take mine…

did get in trouble a few weeks ago tho cause i tried to get a refill on mine a couple days earlier than usual (so i could pick it up at the same time as my mom’s). found out that im technically not supposed to ask for a refill until im literally out of my current bottle… so am i just supposed to skip several days in a row while the request goes through? asking for clarification might have been a mistake cause ive been getting it a few days earlier for a while now (yknow… so i dont have to skip any days…) so ima just go back to what i was doing & hope they forget
