Medication

Have you tried getting a pill tray[^]? You put each dose in a seperate box and then you have a visual clue of taking the medicine.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone.

Oops. That'll be my medication - 3 parts gin and let the sun shine through a Martini bottle - making me miss things. :rolleyes:

Have you tried getting a pill tray[^]? (Sorry I just can't resist the urge)

So I'm on this medication that can, occasionally, affect my short term memory. (I.e. things don't get committed to long term memory, so I may very briefly live like the guy from Memento. Without the murders. As far as I can remember, which is, as they say, the problem.) Anyway. One unfortunate side effect, that I stupidly just realized, is that sometimes I completely forget that I took the medication already. So I take it again, sure it was the first time I took it that day. Taking too much of it isn't dangerous (to a point), but it does increase the risk of losing short term memories. I don't think I've ever taken it a third time. I only just realized I probably just did this today because I can feel the increased dose. It's like being slightly buzzed, not really that unpleasant. I used to use one of those daily med dispenser things (like old people use, one box for M, W, T, etc.) but they are way too easy for my kids to get into, so I stopped. So the point is... I forget.
I’m like this without using any medications. The worst part is that I’m forgetting where I’ve put stuff in the millisecond I put them there. It’s really frustrating in moments. So I developed a system to put the important things (car keys, wallet, documents etc.) in the same places every time.

Devising a medicine whose effects are getting you to forget that you took it so you will take more and have to get a refill earlier. Brilliant!
