Pill Management
Hey all! ADHD Lupus haver 29f, diagnosed in 2020.
How do you guys keep up with all the pills you have to take. I have anti depressants. I take stuff cause my guts don’t work right (still waiting to confirm why, could be Lupus, could be pots but that’s a different convo). Lots of big pill supplements, lots of actual medications. I couldn’t do a weekly pillbox even with the night and days because I was bad at refilling it that often. I got a pill cause where I could keep all my meds in different compartments and have a couple of weeks worth. Problem is, the pills are either too big and I don’t have enough compartments and it doesn’t make a lot of sense to carry 3 around. Then I kept it in one spot next to the full bottles of all the supplements but it takes up so much room on the counter and makes a lot of clutter which I’m actively trying to get rid of.
I’m thinking of buying an automatic pill dispenser. I know they can get pricey but if it works well it might be worth it? How does everyone else manage?
Update: I just got the idea of keeping two baskets and making a ton of pill bags with my morning or night meds in with them. That way I can just grab one and go if need be. And then I can store the bottles away. If I get a new med, then I can add that bottle next to it or the baskets.
