    Downloaded a pill taking app, added prescribed antibiotics, oxycodone, arnica, and bromelian to it. Only took it for a few days when needed (not sure what to do w/ the rest of it). Now I'm getting fucking ads on Pandora to take Vitirol(sp)? Some med. to get off Oxyc.

    Crazy how whatever app you d/l today, marketing is sniffing you out to see what they can push on you.

    • It was the 1 app that claimed they had no 3rd party affiliation (and that no one would market to me). coincidence?notype
    • Why on Earth would you download a pill-taking app?! The levelof trust and reliance people put into that sort of thing boggles my archaic little mind.detritus
    • hey detritus, i needed it because there was way for me to keep track of it all. no one can without help. i was taking a couple more than what is listed here.notype
    • i agree.
      the level of trust was a bit out of character for me, but had no choice.

    • No, I'm fairly luddite when it comes to tech and apps and such. My partner's on a lot of medicine at the moment - she just uses multiple alarms on her phonedetritus
    • I was glad to read a coupl eof years back that some of the old-timer tech nerds were as lluddite as I am. I love tech, but I fear and distrust it more..detritus
    • i hear ya. yeah maybe i should've done the phone alarm... but there's no way to tell if you've taken it or not (sometimes depending - you won't remember), hopenotype
