Pill organizer

I was curious to see which pill organizers people were using. So many vitamins to keep up with! Which one do you use? Any tips on remembering to take them? 

I put them right by my make-up.I never leave home without having something on my face.So I figured this was a good spot for them.

I used to use a very inexpensive organizer with two compartments per day (for morning and evening).  Now I only use one that has just one compartment per day and I just don't put my second multivitamin or any of my calcium in it.  Everything else I take at one time.  

I initially found that the best way for me to get used to taking them was to set phone reminders for the calcium doses.  Now I time them to go along with my meals:  a dose of Upcal D powder in my morning SF hot chocolate or right before I eat my mid morning snack, then one before I eat my lunch, and one before dinner.  I have a 4th dose shortly before bed.  That dose is a creamy bite as a "dessert" (I really enjoy them so it is usually easy to remember), but in case I forget it, I have a bottle of calcium capsules on the washstand next to my bed and I take the final dose before I crawl into bed.

I use two of these - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000M29NZY/ref=mp_s_a_1_25?qid =1406301667&sr=8-25&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

I take my pills I four doses since I have to take the three calciums and iron separately. I set my pills up every other week and put everything except for my b12 in the organizers. The b12 was getting... moist. It's better if I leave it in the original bottle. 

I keep the organizers on the side table in my dining room and, before I go to bed when I take my iron/vitamin C compartment I swap today's strip with tomorrow's strip on the dining table. That way I see it when I wake up. (I take my pills at breakfast, lunch, and dinner and I only eat at this table.)

This has worked out really well for me and the compartments in the organizers I use are large enough for the bariatric advantage calcium chews as well as everything else I take. 

When I travel I just pop out the strips for the days I need and put each in an individual snack size ziplock in case anything pops open. 

I buy a round day of week pill organizer from dollar store, then use my label maker to mark what vitamins are in each compartment. Mult for multis, cal for calcium, b's for b1 and 12' etc. Works perfect.

I use this AM/PM one I got on amazon when I was ordering vitamins.  Its bulky, but everything fits in there, I like the separate spaces for day and night, and its hard to miss on my counter, so I don't forget.

 

I use one that holds day and night for 2 weeks. You can remove a one day section to take with you if leaving for the day. Do not remember where I got- maybe cvs? I use the iPhone app Dosecast to remind me of the calcium or any extra meds I may be on. The others I take mornings and after evening meal.
