When do you take your medication?

What time of the day do you take your medication? I like to take mine right before bedtime. But then there’s a struggle to use the restroom throughout the night because of all the water I drink with my medicine. 🤣

My doctor has me take certain meds in the morning and others at night. Most meds have flexibility to be moved to the morning unless it obviously is there to help sleep. You can also consider drinking less water with your meds. If you arent drinking a lot that might be a problem with your gut/bladder because its not normal to not sleep through the night after a little water. You could also consider taking them an hour or two before bed and see if that helps you give the opportunity to pee before bed.

I take mine at different times. I agree with the suggestion to take them a little before bed so you have an opportunity to pee before getting all tucked in.

I take the majority of mine in the morning, but mine also have the flexibility to be taken whenever except for a couple. I wear what I call piddle pads (hehehe they're just those always discreet pads specifically for leaks) and that makes sure I can make it to the bathroom. I used to be a le to wait an 8 hr work shift, now I'm lucky if I can wait 2 hrs

I take my barrage of pills morning and evening. I'm surprised I don't rattle with the number I take!

I hear you on that one! My meal of pills was reduced when I was taken off gabapentin and put on Lyrica.
