I began using pill organizers because I take so many on a daily basis. I find them invaluable, organizing a whole month's worth upon refilling. When taking Neurontin, I used one for each day, organizing by time of day.
I also keep a list of current meds on the computer to keep in my purse. They're always asked for at every doctor's appointment - I just give them my pre-printed list and print myself a new one. Very easy.
Also, I may be a little anal on this one - I keep my medical history on the computer and print it on labels when visiting a new doctor. While filling out all the paperwork, I stick my preprinted personal info, med history and current meds on the doctor's form. (Should mention I use shipping sized labels).
