No, I have, and I haven't been doing it in a bit, I've been winging it and I have forgotten some things during the day --
[thats a completely different issue, its a hard choice to be on more medication that makes you more forgetful but more functional or less and be in an equally uncomfortable place] --
, because there are a few that are taken 3 or 4 times, the largest "weekly" tray that pharmacies typically have. It fortunately still fits the amount of medication sans dietary supplements, etc.
But its a pain refilling the same tray with 200+ tablets every week -- yes, I prefer having smaller doses for a prescription because I'm never sure if things are going to need to be adjusted and its always a pain if insurance grumbles about dose adjustments which inevitably happens anyhow.
