There is also the fact that many of us on here are proficient in reading typo (or even if it was a spelling error that was not a typo), thus we can ignore them and still understand what the friend is saying in the posting. And if not, then you ask them for clarification (without need to criticize spelling, grammar, etc.). The key is that we are FRIENDS here. So even when I seem like I do not, I do respect the opinions and beliefs of all of my friends here.

When I find a pill not knowing is it a morning or evening pill I just put it in a bag so I can take it to the pharmacy for them to destroy it and just say well I’ve not had one of my morning or evening pill it could be half of one my pills and try not to stress about it x x

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member It is helpful to have a chart or list (whatever form you want) that tells you which times of the day that you take any pills. And you check off on it immediately after you take the pills at the time. It is a major aid if you have someone who can check this to make sure you are taking the pills at each of these times, thus helping you to avoid missing them.

Are the morning and evening cases broken down to the pills for each of the days of the week? Having them this way helps to reduce the chance that you will forget to take any. It is still hard to not make errors (or eyes and memory deceive you) and you take a double dosage, and there is still a chance of forgetting to take a dosage. However, if you do the above, then you will reduce the chance of this happening.

Yes setting alarm on phone makes a huge difference I also set a second alarm just to remind me and I go and check and see if I’ve taken my tablets I’m tablets get made up in a blister pack x x

I consider myself lucky that my am and pm doses are the same. I know a lot of people with any health conditions can struggle with doubling or forgetting. My pill boxes are 31 days. So as long as I took one for today's date I am good. Vimpat does suck to take twice. i take 250mg twice a day. I would be sleeping for hours! Feel for ya!
