How to Remember to Take Your Medicine Daily?

I frequently forget to take my medicine at night. Taking them in the morning isn't an option. How do you remember to take your medicine daily?

could you take them in the evening rather than night? that way you could set an alarm and it wouldn’t be such a jolt to the system when you’re winding down for bed

I take my medicine at 10 but I don't go to sleep until midnight so I don't think it's that.

I use the app TickTick to keep track of appointments as well as habits like my medicine. I also take mine at night and it helps if it’s the only habit you get notifs for

I take meds 3x’s a day. I have notifications on my phone remind me in the am, mid-day and evening each day. Life gets busy, we get distracted or we just forget. This just helps to keep me on track.

I put reminders in my phone. I have to take it several times a day tho. Also I take my nighttime meds at seven and that helps me. I hope that helps you.

Put your medicine near your toothbrush, and toothpaste so when your brush your teeth you remember .

I also use one of those day separators. I have a problem where I forget to take them and then I get paranoid and question if I have or haven't taken them so if I have them in a container marked by days I always know whether I've taken them and of I've forgotten and don't even realize as soon as I look at that case I'll know

I have an alarm that goes off everyday, but I also keep my meds on my coffee table so when I’m watching TV at night I see them and remember.

I use one of those medicine organizers to remember if I took them already or not

I use the Medisafe app :) If reminders aren’t helpful, I suggest tying them into another routine tasks you do in the evening

I put them right next to my bed on my night stand so I see them before I turn out my lamp.

I also use Amazon pill pack so they come prepackaged and I don’t have to worry about organizing them
