@sueinmn, @becsbudddy, @parkerjean, @johnbishop, and all...one very important addition- your pharmacist is your best advisor. We worked together to organize my refills to be refilled at the same time each month.
I was going bonkers calling in refills for me and my son throughout the whole month! It was exhausting and required way too much work. Too much thinking about meds and illness That's not good for my mental health, so I made the change.
Best thing ever...best thing for me emotionally. Less stress!!!
Hope this helps. Elizabeth

@ess77 and all. I do the same as you, Elizabeth. I've given control of my multiple meds per day to my pharmacy. They deliver 2 weekly blister packs every 2 weeks. Each pack is clearly marked by date and 7 individual days are marked A.M., NOON, 5:00 P.M. and BEDTIME.
My doctor phones in any changes, new additions or Rx renewals. I'm a Canadian though, so maybe this service isn't available in the U.S. It's literally a life saver. No mix-ups, no forgetting which one to take, easy peasy! Check with your pharmacist!
