    Water bottle next to your bed where your laptop and phone are. Meds inside a pill organizer right next to the water, on top of the laptop or phone. Take immediately upon waking up. It helps a lot.

    The only people I’ve seen forget to take them with that setup are people who secretly don’t want to take them lol.

      I swear! I went from always missing my meds to never missing a day! I put my pill box on my phone and never looked back!

      Same for laundry, putting it right next to the front door to not forget to bring them to the laundromat.

      It’s foolproof!

      It only took me $1,500 in out of pocket despite having insurance for them to start helping with meds since Vyvanse is the only shit you can get with any sort of regularity. Adderall XR is essentially impossible. I have to get a script for both regularly in case they can’t fill one. Thankfully all last year it was relatively easy to get Adderall still, this year it’s been impossible since February. I think I filled my bottle twice? lol

          Fwiw request a higher dose and measure it yourself if needed. I had a much easier time finding 50s than 30/40s. If you have a good honest relationship with your psych they normally have no problems with this and they may have asked already for weening any SNRIs etc. I had to do it with Duloxetine when it started giving me brain zaps after two years of good use lol.

    I use an android app called MyTherapy that nags you every five minutes until you confirm you took your dose.

    I get major imposter syndrome if I do actually have ADHD, cuz I never forget to take my meds…

    I just find it so much easier to remember one thing that then makes me remember all other things. (I guess it does help that I have to take just 1 per day)
