Managing multiple medications...

[Guest guest]

Say that three times fast! I bought a medication alarm watch, which

helped me out, but it only has room for 10 medications. I'm currently

taking 13 medications, although on most days I only need 11 of them

I just printed out a chart with the medication, the dosage, and the

time, but I'm wondering if any Mitoldies have any words of wisdom for

managing medications and supplements. My main problem is that I don't

remember if I took them or not, and I have so many - well, maybe not

the most on this list - they are all running together in my mind...

Has anyone had problems (or been told to avoid) taking several

medications at once?

On a side note, my 8-year-old has one regular medication that he needs

to take twice a day. Do you think that's too young to let him be

responsible for taking it? I check up on him a lot, but will all of my

medications, his aren't always top in my mind. It was heck when all

three kids and myself were on antibiotics too...

Thanks,
