I finally found a pill organizer large enough to fit most of my pills for a week. I really like it! But I've noticed that by the time I get to the end of the week, some of my pills have changed colors or appear to be oxidizing.
Is this a big problem? Any solutions?

You don't have your container near a source of heat such as the stove, oven or window with lots of sun??? Just thoughts.
My husband's pills don't change color but they do seem to hop from the slot I put them in. I would count them out so carefully and then he would say, "am I supposed to be taking two of these pink ones?" "No! where'd you find that? Right here in the section for today."
Well, he's well enough now to sort his own pills and they still seem to move once in a while although the container is really tight. So, I guess it is operator error - but I'm not the operator anymore.

The only pill organizer I use if for work and its just an am/pm two slot kind. Otherwise, I use a deep casserole pan to keep all the meds in one area, and a clipboard with an XL spreadsheet made check off list of meds and times. Simply look at the checklist for the time, pull the pills, check them off, swallow...done till next time.

I was getting so mixed with my family's Lyme meds and probiotics... I finally made a color copy of the group of pills we take morning, then another for noon and another for nighttime, for each of us.
So we get our pills ready and then check the size and color against the color copy that hangs inside the cupboard where all the meds are stored.
This worked for me and my family, all with chronic Lyme.
