Paper doi abstract bibtex In an attempt to understand if perception of medication management matched actual medication management, we examined epilepsy patients' perceptions of their overall medication management and their actual management. 25 adults with refractory epilepsy were interviewed about perceptions of their past overall medication management. Following the interview, each subject received the Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS) and was asked to use it for 1 month. For the 21 persons who used and returned the caps, a score for compliance was calculated by dividing the number of compliant days by the total number of days. Four subjects (Ss) stated that they sometimes forget to take their medications, and 3 said that they self-regulated their medications to fit their lifestyle. The self-regulation was not reflected in the MEMS cap data. Fourteen Ss reported that it was not difficult to manage their medication regimen. MEMS cap data showed that 11 Ss had a compliance score greater than 80% and 10 had a compliance score lower than 34%, but patients' perceptions of their past overall compliance did not differ between these groups. Although 14 Ss reported that managing their medications was not a problem, MEMS cap data suggested that 10 of them did have difficulties managing their medication.
