Wow. Forgot my meds last nigh - again. Seems to be happening more often.
Only just realized I forgot. Was wondering why I was feeling so incredibly teary and off and jittery.
I normally take my antidepressant between 10pm & midnight. It's now after 5pm. Won't be home to take it until 6pm.
Still surprises me how quickly my body reacts to missing the serotonin.
At least I know I'll be right within 2 hrs of taking my missed dose.

Thanks @Nate77. I've set alarms before but it's when your sleep pattern is messed up that I get caught up because I'm not up when I'm meant to take them. I'm also very forgetful sometimes so I lose what I'm doing between the bedroom and the kitchen. I'm actually much better than I was but still have room for improvement. Thanks for the thought though😊
Welcome to the forum too 👋💜🤗

Yes we do @utopia Especially because they're the ones who know our sleep pattern. 😉💜

Could be a career opportunity for someone... professional med reminder? I'm always good with my meds - brush my teeth, take my pill. I never forget to brush my teeth so just associate meds / teeth
