I do a little bit of both, I used to do count them out but slacked off doing that for a few months now, but I started to keep count of them as of yesterday night, I like to get a idea of what I have in my meds so I report it to my doc and the pharmacy that they have there, I used to get my meds before that from a company that supplies medical medicine and such etc, and was getting a three month supply when it came to me, I don't think I had a time that they didn't have my med, not sure, maybe… read more

I keep an eye on how much meds I have . When they get low , like about a week left , I would call my meds in
My medication come in 4 dosset boxes already counted for each day.
I use a few choice items. I have a two level medication container that allows me to sort and safely store medications. The medication container has a lid that closes well then will lock down tightly allowing me to carry should I need to carry my medication to a specific in-house medical procedure (2 week testing) that is taking place.
I also use a particular iPhone application Dosecast that allows me to enter all medication taken with the specifics about each (milligrams, amount taken each dosage, etc.) I have the ability to schedule each medication, the time for that medication (8:00 am, 11:00 am, 6:00 pm, weekly, bi-weekly) then can also set up more specifics for that medication such as the amount of medication in the bottle, including the amount of refills in the bottle itself. Supposedly the user can send notes to the doctor when needing to have refills. This is a free application, I don't have the paid version so not quite sure how you would do that. I have always been someone that contacts my pharmacy whenever there is a need for refills personally as they are quick to take care of that type matter.
I use a pillbox and luckily most of my meds are on auto refill. I have to get a 90 day supply so I don’t worry about it too much.
Yes, I do keep track of my medications. All my AM/PM daily doses are
delivered to me in clearly labelled see-through plastic "tear-off'' bags.
Each pill is a different colour, and I know what pills I am taking. Each
bag has its contents clearly labelled. My pharmacist prepares and delivers
my pre-packaged medications to me fortnightly.
