Hello, Kim! How are you?

I would suggest writing down the time, when you take one, that way you can look back at your notes to see if it is time to take the next one, or not.

As to the specific count, for instance, if you took one at 8am, your next dose would be at 4pm, then the next at midnight. If you're taking them regularly, then it may be easier for you to do it that way and keep a consistent schedule of when you take them.

If you have a smart phone, there are also some free prescription reminder apps that you can download, which you can set to your remind you to take it every 8 hours. Then you don't have to remember, just set up a recurring daily schedule in the app and take it, when the app alerts you that it's time.

The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Does anyone els have any ideas or suggestions that may help?

After surgery on my neck to fuse a disc, I was still looped on the hospital meds, and I took 13 Vicodin 10's. I don't remember even leaving the hospital, then woke up 2 weeks later after being on life support and in a coma. My family was coming to say goodbye. Be careful.
