Set a cell phone or watch alarm and buy a pill box that is separated into days.

i do the cell phone thing now and i keep shutting it off and shrugging it off >.< which is baaaaaaaaaaaaad

i am going to go search for a pill box that can hopefully fit in a purse though! thank you =]

[shes_staggering]

they make 'em pretty small, depending on the size of your purse it should be no problem at all for it to fit. and just stick two in each day and you're set.

Make a little chart and put a tick on it when you've taken one?

[waitingallweek]

that's a good idea too!

[plain_mornings]

My first thought was definitely the little pill box idea. And depends on your eating habits, maybe you could try and always take one at breakfast and one at supper or something?
(this advice coming from the girl who could never remember to take the pill even once a day. heheh)

i will be forgetting that i ate food[that's how bad the short term meory loss will be lol] so that wouldn't work and i eat every two hours anyways lol

to remember to take it? set the alarm on your cell & make sure you do.

to remember you've done it? make a mark on your hand.

that was my original plan but a] i can't look like i cut myself lol
and
b] my dad is WAY against writing directly on skin and he's the one that's going to be helping me get better

but i'll probably still do it haha =]

Use a monthly calander, and make diagonal marks on each day for each pill, and once you've taken both pills the day will have an X mark on it.

[they make purse-sized monthly calanders too]
