I have a pill organiser but I hadn't used it in a long while and I get forgetful (and honestly sometimes lazy - like if i'm in bed and just realised I didn't take a dose) about taking my medication. As with Axa, it's not a huge deal if I miss a dose but I have learned firsthand that not taking my medication regularly enough can cause a seizure. I cleaned out my medicine cupboard a couple of days ago (boy did I have too many out of date medications in there and medications that aren't needed anymore) and pulled out my pill organiser. I have one with the 14 compartments (7 am and 7pm) and it is so good just being able to open up one compartment and not have to deal with opening all the various boxes and pill bottles. I take Lamictal with/after breakfast and dinner, Epilim (sodium valproate) with/after breakfast and dinner, Zoloft (for depression) with/after dinner and I also take a multivitamin with/after breakfast.
