How do you guys remember to take your medication?

My automated pill dispenser isn't working correctly and I ended up forgetting my medication AGAIN and was at ER all day yesterday from having seizures.

Yes I had one of those when I was a teen-young adult. Worked well if you took meds right away. Otherwise I would sometimes get busy and forget.

This is why I use the snooze function on my alarm. The alarm can ring at a time when I am not able to take my medications straight away (i.e. I am in the bathroom, or on a phone call, etc.). With the use of the snooze function, I do not miss my medications anymore, thankfully.

Set ur alarm on your phone as reminder to take your seizure medicine at the same time every day to keep your level normal

I use an app called Take Your Pills. The best part about it is that I can mark which pills I have taken each time I take them. This helps when you need to take multiple pills at a time and also when filling a weekly pill box.
