Methylphenidate, trial week 2

[cimorene]

My instructions were to try a half dose with breakfast and a half dose with lunch for one week, then the second week (today) switch to two whole doses.

I started a bit early with just one half dose a day, but I remembered finally last Wednesday to Friday to take the second half dose.

Then this morning I accidentally took a half dose again and at lunch I forgot again completely! I may have to create a weekday lunch alarm that says "MEDS" at this rate...

Creating an alarm is a great idea!

Also if remembering it is just not feasible there are time-release versions of ADD meds. My kid took one in high school.

Yeah, this is just the first thing we've tried, so I could end up with one of those perhaps.

I absolutely had alarms for meds and sometimes use them again when adding a new med in.

I've never had one that was taken regularly but not with breakfast before, so once I got my breakfast routine down I stopped forgetting them, luckily!

I have alarms for my meds, and then another alarm half an hour after that to remind me to check if I took them. I definitely recommend them.

[cimorene]

Lol, I may need that as well.
