Keeping a log of meds is SO important! My son had insisted he could keep his own log in his head but when he starting sleeping so much and sleeping past the time for his meds, I really worried about him especially when he couldn't remember when he had taken them. I finally made a spreadsheet with the names of the meds, how often to be taken, time of last med taken and how much, as well names of the doctors prescribing them with phone numbers of the doctors and phone numbers of Drugstore where they came from. I taped a copy to his refrigerator, laid a copy by his bed and kept a copy for me and I insisted he had to record the med on the spreadsheet with time taken, noted so that when I wasn't there, I would know what happened when I got back.
