My clonazepam story: More regulation seems to be coming

I have had a lifelong problem with memory, so it's hard to know if the medication is making it worse.
I think that accidental overdose is the least of my worries, because I tend to be OCD in the way I dispense my meds. The bottles are lined up in a specific order. Starting at the left end, I have the pills to take in the morning, then the pills that I take both at bedtime and in the morning, then the ones I take only at bedtime. I have to have order. Organization is very important to me.
From time to time I do an online drug interaction check, so I know what I need to be aware of, and possible side effects to watch for. All of my doctors have in front of them a current list of medications, so they warn me to be careful about taking only the prescribed dose.
I'm rambling - I'm tired and need to go to sleep.

Jim,
I found a black (fake)leather pill case with a snap.
It that really helps me organize a week of meds.
There is a separate plastic case with a sliding top
labeled for each day of the week.
Each day’s plastic ‘box’ has a sliding top.
No wondering if I took too many or not enough med.
I fill the case for the week and refill it the beginning of the next week.
You can probably find one that works for you at a pharmacy or on line?
There is also one for an entire month, but I preferred the smaller case with the faux leather snap that fits in my purse.
Good luck.
Ok, so you already are organized!

I’m glad you don’t have to worry about overdosing but insurance companies don’t see it that way. Sorry.
