Worst part about ADD meds: need meds to remember meds
There are always worse kinds of meds: Meds that make you more forgetful (valproic acid, etc.).
Make a recurring event in your phone
iPhone has a medicine reminder feature in the Health app that is way more helpful because it lets you put it off for a bit and then can get progressively more aggressive until it literally screams at you and I think can even be configured to tell someone else to come and bonk you until you do it.
This only works if you have a set schedule.
I have a schedule at work that shifts randomly from morning to night and this resulted in me forgetting my meds for my Monday shift. So many errors...
