Oh crap... I honestly can't remember if I took pills today... I think I did... like 85% sure. But can't remember completely.

I know it won't help you remember anything.
I just thought it might help in some other way. LOL!

I hate it when I can't remember if I took my pills, which happens quite often. I tend to do the same thing that @Squiddy said yesterday that she does & turn my alarm off because it's annoying. I always tell myself that I'll remember without the alarm, and then of course- I don't. LOL!

You guys need to get the bottles that have timers on them to show you if you opened it today or not. Then you juts have to remember to actually take the pill

The funny thing is, I take pain meds when I have my dinner and I never forget those meds because they actually help me. The thyroid meds, I forget to take all the time because it doesn't do anything to help me, so I don't really think it matters if I take it or not. I can take it or not take it and feel exactly the same. I think if it actually helped me, I'd probably remember to take it. This way, all it is is one more pill to swallow that makes me nauseous. Every pill I swallow makes me nauseous and I have to fight to swallow it, so I try to choose carefully which pills I take because it's very hard for me to take pills. I'm so glad that the SN method is a liquid and not a pill. That's probably one of the reasons I have trouble taking pills now— because I've OD'd on so many pills over the years that my body automatically rejects them now, even if it's something that's going to help me.

OMG thank you both for those comments!

I did take them!

I know because I took the pain meds! lol. which means I took them all!


oh yeah pill OD... seriously I don't even consider a pill OD an OD anymore really, until I hit high levels of practically passing out.

Not really worth the effort and stress, is it?

 

[Carina]

Not much is really.

Actually I almost took more of my pain meds this morning than I should have. I literally have a 5 month supply of them (they refilled them when I didn't need it, I have like 5 bottles of them (6?) so I could easily take a lot for a while and not even have an issue lol

My mom's boyfriend offered me his (he doesn't take them) and that'd give me another 1000 if I wanted them rofl.

Your mom and her boyfriend seem to go back-and-forth between acting very suspicious of you and being very clueless.

Yeah... Granted the reason he doesn't care is the side effect of the gabepentin--it makes him drowsy/out of it. It does me too, but without it,, and others, I can't function. with it, it screws with my mental focus. that causes issues because I know it's being messed with. it's like a lose-lose situation. But it prevents like narcotics being needed, and other things aren't legal in the state.

It's like they just assume I"m up to something... ok I am, I totally am... but they have no clue what. but it's just so annoying... like anything I go to do needs an explanation. anything I buy is like "I need to explain".... but nothing I can do about it.

 

[Backwood_tilt]

@Carina :( that sounds pretty fucking frustrating.

I used to take gabapentin too, so I'm familiar with the side effects of it. I ran out of it and I just never got anymore because it would require me to go to a doctor and I just don't want to go to one. Instead, I just take large amounts of over-the-counter ibuprofen. I was already taking a prescription ibuprofen that was 2400 mg for pain in my knees. Plus, I have a ton of my husband's old pills that he never took. Now some of them are several years old, but they're still good and they still work. I have a whole bunch of Vicodin, some muscle relaxers, and a few other pills that are different pain pills that they gave him that he didn't take. I just keep them around and when my knees hurt really bad I take one of those. But I usually just take the ibuprofen. Unfortunately there's no over-the-counter equivalent to the gabapentin. At least not that I know of.

I'm tired and it's only 7pm. I should've taken a nap earlier.

I am tired too. I'm fighting to stay awake. I'm going to stay awake dammit!

yeah... you get used to it... ok, I'm here.... so it's a stressor that adds to a list that in part adds to me being here, but it's a very small part lol

oh cool, well kind of, but yeah. I take 2 at night. It does help me sleep at least, well with the lithium and trazodone. OTC meds... I might as well be taking water, add some codeine to them, then maybe. maybe some morphine. Vicodin.
The one muscle relaxant I have knocks me out normally (sometimes instant, other times not) that's years old. I take it every so often to help with neck, as I haven't been given anything for it lately. It's been killing me (even now). in part because it pops loudly practically whenever I move my neck. So tempted somedays to see what'd happen if I took the bottle... but I know it'd potentially be painful, so I don't.

Yeah I do
