Mary,
I use small containers that screw together bottom to top. My wife helps me sort the pills into Morning, Afternoon and Evening containers, then she screws them all together and calls in refills. Wehn we are done I have at least a weeks worth of pills all sorted and ready to go. Works well for me!

. But I like the bubble pack idea the best, in partictular for traveling. Thanks.

you should take them with a meal or incorporate them into your bedtime ritual. I also use a pill box and seperate my pills into morning and evning. I take the morning with my breakfast and at night when I brush my teeth and wash my face. I also keep them out where I can see them,but the kids can't get to them. It will get easier as time goes by.

Check out the MEd-Q Pillbox. It organizes, alerts, reminds and dispenses at the time you set. It cost less than 40 dollars but has made forgetting impssible. It is a technologocal breakthrough. Go to MEDQPILLBOX.com and you'll see what i mean

I like Brad's answer, I suggest getting a wife! All joking aside, the pharmacist could put them into a bubble pack for you. I think I am going to go this route because I get confused and sometimes forget that I took them or forget to take them. I saw a very funny commercial once where the husband was asking his wife at dinner time what each colored pill was for and when he got to the green one she said that is a pea.
Hope this info is helpful
