How many times a day do you take your vitamins/pills? Do you guys use special pill organizers to keep track of them?

I have a daily one right now for the vitamins I'm already taking and my antidepressants, but I'm investigating the kind that have slots for different times of day too, and there are so many options. I'm just curious what works best for you veterans.

Thanks in advance!

I don't use a physical pill organizer, but I do have a pill reminder app on my phone that I have found to be a lifesaver. I can program in my pills, timing, and dosage. I haven't missed a dose since surgery because I always get the notices -- and I have it set to pop up three times if I try to ignore it :) I found this really helpful when I added the calcium citrate chews because I wanted to space them out and take them apart from my multivitamin.
