Memory hole.

I don't remember if I took my meds today or not. This is never good.
If I took them, and don't take any now, I'll be fine.
If I took them, and take another dose now, I'll be mildly manic for the next 12-24 hours.
If I didn't take them, and don't take any now, I'll be largely unable to function tomorrow.
If I didn't take them, and take another dose now, I'll be fine.
*makes the Pascal's Wager square*
No clear winner. Damn.

sorry, no splitter here. I think they only cost a couple of bucks, though, so if this is a frequent question for you it might be worth the investment.

No - usually I'm certain whether I've taken a pill or not. This does not and should not imply that I am always correct about whether or not I've had one, however. It's just that I don't know I'm wrong until afterwards.

I'd suggest the calendar thing, then -- I've gotten a lot better about it since I made a habit of having a pen in one hand when I take the pill and not putting it down again until I've marked the day. I still have days when I completely forget to take it, but at least I don't double dose.

May as well. Gods know I write down every other damned thing I do.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

You do?

Well, not *everything*.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

I do write down a significant number of things though, if they're the sort of things that I think I might need to reference later for some reason. And, as one of those categories of things I might need to reference later is "Things the doctor is likely to ask about", pills, and whether I've taken them or not, should probably be added to the list.
