Here’s my secret effective tip: have blood pressure issues that cause palpitations when you forget your meds for a couple hours. Who needs alarms when you can feel like shite for the rest of the day?!
As a person recently diagnosed. I have a pill bottle with my daily dose. I refill it in the evening on my comedown to make sure I don’t forget it. I do sometimes forget in the morning when I go into the office though.
Thanks for the reminder, I had genuinely forgotten this morning. Why is it so hard?
The real struggle is staying focused during the few seconds between turning off my alarm and getting my meds. One little maneuver could cost 51 years
Don’t mark the alarm done till it’s in your mouth. Snooze the alarm 5 min if you must
I’m just going to do this first…
You just need a reminder to check your reminders.
I use https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.corruptedark.diditakemymeds
You can even set it up to require photo evidence of you taking your meds.
Do you know if it changes with the time zone you’re in?
It does at least respect daylight savings. I guess it uses whatever your phone reports as the current local time.
I keep forgetting to take my meds this week.
they say to get one of those daily pill calendar things, but thats too much work to fill all the time.
There are Sundays where the thought of having to spend 5 minutes filling up my pills for the week kept me in bed for hours.
If I’m being good I do it Saturday night, after I take the last dose and empty it. But I’m rarely being good.
I have one but if it’s not physically in front of me I just don’t think of it.
Fuck… I think I forgot to send in a refill
Im in this picture and I didnt consent to it
I’ve got 2 daily alarms, 15 minutes apart and still manage to occasionally miss taking them.
The Things 3 app doesn’t get first class OS support, so there’s little chance of these reminders working versus the default Reminders app, which has the ability to notify and stick those notifications to your home screen
Even better, use the Health Medications feature in iOS and set high priority notifications that scream and put an unbearably huge notification on your lock screen
Don’t you know how to calendar things?
literally adhd tho
O i know that’s the joke.
