hoarding my meds

[missfortune]

hey is it normal to hoard my meds and saving it for a rainy day?:(

[Hungman]

depends what meds ;)
seriously though if you need them everyday then its better to stick with the prescribed dose, if its ritalin or adderal or dexies etc.. I WOULD be saving them up but you can do whatever

[Manjusri]

Define "a rainy day". Are you specifically looking to use the medication out of boredom to get high? Or are you intentionally saving them to one day overdose in an attempt of suicide?

Either way hoarding medication is not normal, no. It commonly leads to recounting your pills, which then temps you to abuse your prescription. Hoarding of anything typically isn't good, especially medication(s).

Also if you're planning to use your medication to get high - be careful. Often times prescription medications are far more dangerous than your common street drug (not referring to hard drugs). Find information on your prescription from a reliable source and examine the possible outcomes.

Regardless of what your medication is, i'm just going to go ahead and recommend that you don't hoard them nor use them "for a rainy day". The cons of abusing prescription meds far outweigh the pros.

In my personal opinion; I save certain pills for days when I'm in pain that is so undesirable I can't even read text or stand up straight.

But just bored? Well, then you're getting a bit..... unhealthy.

UM its all on what kind. If you need them every day its not good for your body to stop takeing them so fast.

Depends on your definition of a rainy day, what pills you take, and your official diagnoses.
Personally, no, saving prescription medicine is not good, and no one in their right mind would suggest you do that. If it prescription just get a refill when you run out.
I used to save my (non prescription) sleeping pills for when I really couldn't sleep. But then I found out take 14 pills or 2, I don't sleep any better or for longer I just fall asleep faster, which is sometimes my only intent, but it wasn't healthy and I don't do it anymore.
Take your pills as prescribed and don't screw with the bottled directions or what your doctor says

Depends what they are for- maintenance mess no - take daily and purchase many extra in case of a problem - natural disaster etc

[lyriclover]

Like what everyone else said, depends on what kind and why. I hoard things like Asprin because my parents like to not let me have anything for anything, but I only take one when I need it.

[GigglyAbby]

I agree with Anxiety and Manjusri that it's best to take them as a prescribed than hoarding them. Plus, if you have may have issues and don't the meds are right for you talk to your doctor.

[Sti kid]

no doubt, i do it

Absolutley not everyone who saves prescription drugs is probably going to die from overdose. the evidence is everywhere!!! Micheal jackson saved alot of pills and look at what happened to him. Do you want to end up dead? I sure dont. say no to drugs, over and out.:yeah:
