Everything's fiiiiiiiiiiiine when your body chemistry is adjusted decently. And then you forget to take your St. John's Wort (along with the multivitamin and the allergy medicine) and everything's fine even though you've gotten out of the habit of swallowing those things every morning -- until something whacks your decent mood.

And then it's all "I've fallen and I can't get up!" mode.

And you can't figure out why.


... Next time I go all wacked, somebody pull out the Clue Hammer and ask me if I'm taking the St. John's Wort, 'k? 300mg/day seems to keep me fine once I've re-stabilized, stepping up to 900mg/day if I'm not stable.

It's one of those things that has to be automatic, for me, or else I forget badly.

You have a Palm, yeah? try a recurring reminder, say once a week, that'll pop up and ask you if you've taken St. John's Wort recently. That way you shouldn't forget it for more than a week, at worst.

Neither of my Palms are in current use.

I do have a palm-compatible task reminder through yahoo; it e-mails me the day's events and current unfinished tasks. So I'll just take my meds when I get the e-mail, and if I can't take them then, I just won't delete the e-mail until I take them.

Which should work fairly well, because I do clean those up out of the inbox.
