.. For me my meds sit in front of my bathroom sink. This means I cannot groom myself, brush/floss my teeth, shave, apply cologne, or anything else without seeing/moving my meds.
I'm not a hoarder but I've saved every bottle of Atripla I've taken so far. I do the same thing with beer bottlecaps when I go drinking so that the next morning I can count how many I've had. Each bottle represents thirty pills so I can figure out exactly how many pills I've taken. I'm already up to 360+ and it seems like I JUST started.
ps: there's absolutely no need to keep your current 30-day Norvir supply in the fridge, only months 2-3 if you're getting medications on a 3-month schedule.

I keep my meds in a purposely designed kangaroo scrotum pouch.(http://tool.shagnasty.net/wiki/images/6/62/Big_2.jpg)
I believe it was taken from a Western Red.

I left an unwrapped paracetemol in their last night and it was half eaten this morning - I guess mice or cockroaches get headaches too.
Are you guys still taking the gelcaps or do you keep the tablet one in the fridge too?
I am not as organized as I should be. I keep them in the original bottles on my dresser (yes, even the Norvir), one of the bottles doesnt even have a cap on it. *sigh* I have a pill organizer, but it mostly just collects dust.
@Hellraiser- yes, you are a hoarder. One day we are gonna see you on that Hoarders show with 3,000 empty Atripla bottles strewn about your house.

The tablet became available here back in March, and no there's no need for it to be in a fridge. Ever.
If someone in the US is still taking the gel cap it's either by choice or their doctor hasn't bothered to change the script during refills.

I'm confused then as to why you suggested keeping months 2 and 3 in the fridge earlier in this thread?

you could fit the whole world in between eric48 and RapidRods systems
1 week supply in the car
1 day supply in pocket wallet
1 day supply in a convenient little container attached to my cell phone
1 day supply in a convenient little container attached to my car keys
(I am a bit more carefull now but when I was younger, I'd loose all these stuff on a regular basis)
(pickpockets are a pestilence in this city, too...)
3 days supply in my back pack
5 days supply in my hand carry
5 days supply in a UPS approved storage where I can order UPS overnight shipments to just anyhere via internet

Actually I checked with my insurance about the tablet and it will cost me $125 co pay for the tablet while my current gelcap is only costing $30. It doesn't make much sense, but I assume it has to do with categorization and the specialty drug classification. I hope I can eventually store all my meds unrefridgerated.
I was just inspired to post this (hope its not redundant), by this thread:
Please share where you keep them and if this has any rationale behind it.
My old bottle collection went out in the trash today, as decided.
Haven't you previously mentioned a hoarding problem? That must be a very big step for you! Now on to the stacks of newspapers ;).
and adult bookstore.
I have four additional bottles of Atripla as a safety stock, I'm keeping them in a sock drawer at the bottom of the dresser where they are low and cool.
The morning pills get taken with breakfast and the others go in my pants pocket in a baggie (or sit on the dresser...).
Out late at night at the disco?
I keep my two month supply in the safe!
Hopefully I will never need it. Since it is AZT, I hope when the time comes that I can take something better.
