How to Remember to Take Your Medication

My iron pills tasted disgusting but I tried to have them even though they did help me out but I stopped due to my forgetting. How do I remember to take the medication I am prescribed?

I like to either use gummies when I can or have a little treat like butterscotch candy afterwards as positive enforcement, and then seeing or wanting the treat reminds me even if I ignore the alarms. Also keeping the medication somewhere easy to see.

I use weekly pill cases that have each day of the week marked, have it in plain view in the bathroom so I see it when I go to get ready in the morning And yeah iron pills do taste like shit

I love using the mytherapy app! I take a few different vitamins and supplements and was struggling to take them all at first. I second the pill case, as I was about to buy one but realized the app had annoying enough reminders that I remembered lol. 😂 Also yes! I was so excited for iron gummies only to realize, whew—do they have a shitty aftertaste! I use tablets now from Rainbow light and idk if it's the vit C but 🤢🤮. It's whatever I just chug it down and got used to it.

Gummies 100% make it easier to remember and take.
