I can't even remember if I took my meds on some days lol. I need reminders, tasks, alarms and calendar events for everything, or I can't function.
Yes. I do this too, and yet I still forget to do stuff.
Oh, I do too. I keep closing the alarms going "I'll do it in a min", or just snoozing them until they stop.
I literally took a small dose of meds to work because as soon as I am on the road (and I plan my commute very tight with small room for error), I notice that I did not do something. And then I am a good 2 kilometres away from home.
That's why I took Concerta for a while. Just one pill a day. And I numbered the capsules on the strips so I could just check the date.
I take Vyvanse once a day too (plus other stuff, but all once a day at the same time), I prepare everything in a pill box that I keep at my computer desk, which is the one place I go to every single day around the time I take them, but I still manage to forget lol
