Have Anyone Had A Nurse Putting Your Medications In Your Pill Pack And You Still Find Errors In The Dosage?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been trusting a nurse to put my pills in my pill pack so I won't get them mixed up. This morning I found more than one error in my main seizure pills.

I don't trust anyone to my meds but pharmacy or hospital unless it's nesscary
I do my meds like this. I take 6 different types sorta
1 Keppra x2 a day
1 calcitrol x2day
1 gabpentin x2 day
1 vitamin d 1 once a week
2 Trileptal x 2 day
& 1 at night
2 calcium vitamin x2 Day

Have different bottles or size bottles to keep track.
Some come in small like once a week bc there's not that many.
If you like the pill box it could help. I think building a good habit and routine. Helps

What I do is I fill my pill box once a week and follow what the bottle says. If there are any changes I write it on the bottle.

Not a pill pack but when I was in hospital a few years ago and I had my Tegretol dosage increased I was very close to the whole thing going wrong. As they temporally put me on clobazam at the same time and couldn't really explain how the increase would work, so the EMU dr had to do it.
