Ziploc Bag Full of Meds

Friday October 3, 2008
I take a total of twelve pills every day at five different dosing times. I bought a medicine tray and they don't fit! Plus it only has 4 slots a day. Right now everything is overflowing out of a gallon Ziploc bag. I am sometimes forgetting to take things. I hope someone can help me to figure this out, without the help of a full time home health nurse. LOL ~ from Foundlight, a member of our forums

Well Foundlight, you are hardly alone! It is characteristic of people with bipolar disorder to forget their medications or to miss doses. We’ve actually had this discussion in the forums previously and compiled some of the answers into tips for Managing and Remembering Medications. These are tips written by people who deal with medication issues every day. We’ve also compiled some information into a quick reference for How to Manage Your Medications. Have any additional thoughts for Foundlight? Join her discussion.
