Evening ones are taken care of.  Now to fill the PR and my weekly pill boxes.

Yes; I only wouldn't if I wanted to get dizzy and lightheaded (which I never would.)

Will the temperature affect the effectiveness of the meds?  I know some have to be kept at a certain temperature or they lose their effectiveness. 

When I put the meds in the pill boxes, the pill boxes are kept in ziplock bags.  That way the humidity and air doesn't affect them as much (the pill boxes aren't air tight) and if they get dropped the pills don't go all over the place.

I thought of that but most of the time in the heat the windows are down and under the seat in a sealed drawer it doesn't get that much hotter than in the house   and I don't think the cold effects them.  I began doing this after forgetting to take them all the time.  It also keeps them in a safe place

^Oooh you are going to feel terrible! Don't know what you are taking though.

Once I left an Epilim pill out (I forgot to take it) and when I picked it up later it was all icky and gooey. Have never seen that before.

Withdrawal is awful but it could take more than a week for the serious stuff to kick in, depending on the med.

 What kind of medication do you take, is it for low blood pressure?  :orly:
