> When I take my pills, I am usually having breakfast in front of the PC and then I wonder, did I take them or not? I don't want to overdose, but then again I don't want to miss a dose. This happens way too many times so I think I need to buy one of those pill holders with the days of the week on them. Must be old age or something or Cymbalta makes me dense. lol
Here's my method. It's obviously not foolproof but has the virtue of simplicity.
I have a little porcelain dish on the bathroom sink. When I wake up in the morning and go to the bathroom, I always put my day's medication in the dish, as part of my morning routine.
If you only take one pill per day, it is helpful to have a second one you take at a different time, e.g. a vitamin pill that you take just before you go to bed, or when you brush your teeth at night.
I always take two salmon oil capsules in the morning and one before bed, so that helps me keep track of where I am.
