What’s one trick that helps you remember to take your medication on time? 🔔

Sometimes it's not about wanting to take medication, it’s about remembering, juggling routines, or making it work with everyday life.

💬 Share reminders, routines, or even the creative ways you’ve worked it into your day.

Members shared various strategies for remembering medications, with the most common being taking them first thing in the morning as part of a wake-up routine, keeping pills in a nightstand for easy access, and setting multiple phone alarms throughout the day to stay on track. Several members opened up about the challenges that make adherence harder, including needing to check blood sugar before eating, feeling nauseated when taking pills on an empty stomach, managing complex schedules with different timing requirements, and the mental exhaustion of juggling multiple daily health tasks. A recurring theme was the frustration of forgetting despite decades of medication routines, with many expressing that the struggle often comes from being overwhelmed by morning tasks or carrying an underlying resistance to the constant burden of pill-taking itself.

@Cynthea. I wouldn't call it a trick because as long as I wake up in the morning that's the first thing I do when I get out of bed. Makes remembering a breeze. 💖🫡👍🧚‍♀️🎵

I have to take my synthroid and hour before any of my meds; I have the alarm set for 9 am. I set another alarm for 10am to take my morning meds and vitamin. I set an alarm at 3pm to take my afternoon meds and then I set an alarm for 8pm to take my bedtime meds and vitamins...in hopes my trazadone knocks me out at a descent hour...not very successful if I fall asleep between 8-9:30 then I am up again between 11pm,-1am and do not go back to sleep until around 6am, if I fall asleep some nights I am out cold or up and down all night. The Trazadone was upped at my last med check and I go back in March.

I keep the weekly meds in my nightstand and the bottles we have in buckets on top of a dresser. I have the above alarms set and turn them off and still forget. Then there is my husband; take your meds, did you take your meds? You need to take your meds....love him to death but he makes me mad when he does that for anything anybody to do from me all the way down to the three year old.
