So... twice this week now the alarm that reminds me to take one of my meds has gone off, but when I've gone to take the pill, it's already missing from the organizer. No record in my medication log of my having taken it either.
That's... odd.

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •@Jonathan Lamothe that's incredibly concerning. Both because the lack of log event means you're either sleepwalking, or in a state to not perform a log. And the alarm is likely the trigger. Uh - can you account for theft? Are they worth stealing?
Sorry - that's "my brain goes paranoid" level of fear

in reply to silverwizard • •@silverwizard No, they're antacids. If someone were going to steal a pill, the ADHD meds were in the same organizer.
There are many benign possibilities. It's possible that when I loaded the organizer, I accidentally put only one of those pills in it (I take two a day). It's possible that since I was late with meds today, I got the schedule wrong, and accidentally took one at the wrong time. These are much more likely.
Still, I'll keep an eye on the situation.

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • •@silverwizard My medication schedule is... complicated. Med X needs to be taken with food. Meds Y and Z can't be taken within two hours of each other. It's like the damn wolf, goat, cabbage problem.
Getting old sucks (though it's preferable to the alternative, I suppose).

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • •So I've solved the mystery.
It's the result of my half-asleep brain taking the wrong pill in the morning—by feel, in the dark, of course—and then failing to log that anything even happened. Problematic, but not so much as the potential reasons that had been proposed.
