Hi wiggle worm. Thanks for bringing up this thread. Interesting reading. 🙂
I have tried those 7 day pill minders but they don’t work for me because I can’t remember to fill them regularly and then I still forget to take a dose and then I can’t tell if a slot is empty because I already took it or because I forgot to fill it….
I like the keeping it beside the bed strategy. But dreaming I took it and not being able to tell if I really did take it is something I would totally do. I think I would take one pill out of the bottle and put it in a pill box then replace it right after I take it. That is, if I managed to wake up to take it.  I guess I’ll find out  what works if I get on meds. Right now I only take Welbutrin XL which works very slowly, if at all, so I don’t worry about taking it first thing.
And coffee is a must. First thing and then at least 2 or 3 cups more after that through out the day and sometimes a cup before bed. Doesn’t do much to motivate me though.
