Late taking meds

[anyonelistening]

Help!!! I don't know why I keep doing this. I keep messing up my schedule for taking bocep. I am on a schedule of 8am 4 and midnight but I've been soooo tired at the midnight dose I've fallen asleep before taking my meds then woke up at 2:300-3 am and quickly taken medicine unfortunately this is not the first time it's happened. Have alarm set on my phone I don't know what I'm doing to not here it maybe I'm turning it off in my sleep. I want to stop messing up my timing please help

set several alarms...when I go in to a deep sleep nothing wakes me up...all my neighbors know if there is an emergency to bang-bang-bang until they get me up and if that doesn't work, let the emergency people know.  I have 3 awfully loud alarms...maybe adjust your times back an hour each...or if you have a friend or two that could call you at 1130??....I could call you but you need a back-up person too since I never know when I will just go to sleep.  Good luck.

Your handle is part of a song I love by Simply Red...is anybody out there? is anybody listening....good song.

That's a good one.  I had to laugh when I read it.  Barking, screaming and
my wives threats work really well : ).  Record something you can't stand.

You should change your ring tone on the alarm to something extremely annoying.  I had to change mine a couple of times and it really helped.  And all of the advice above.  You can do this

Get a very loud alarm and set it across the room so that you have to get up to turn it off. Be sure it rings long enough to wake you up. With only one month left, try to stay on schedule and get all of your doses in and on time. You can do it.

  You only have 4 weeks to go.  Don't mess up now!!!!
Go buy 3 alarm clocks and set them all.  LOUD ONES!!!  You
Also could back that schedule up to 11 PM, 7 AM and 3PM.   Then again
to 10 PM, 6AM and 2PM.  I believe you have a two hour window to take
that drug.   Then you could be taking it before you go to bed and first thing
when you get up.  Waking up to take these drugs is one of the trying things
about treatment.  I don't think thats easy for anyone. Only 4 weeks!!

Try setting a back up alarm, a louder one.

I'm not as familiar with Victrellis (Boceprevir) as I am with Incivek (Telaprevir). I bought a cell phone that had a pill reminder feature for my husband, and I set it for the specific times that he needed to take his medicine.  The feature allowed me to take a photo of the pills, type the name of the pills, and then set an alarm that rang every day at that specific time.  I set one for each dose and time.
