When I had meds that didn't work I asked my shrink what to do, he suggested with the tablets to rip the labels off the bottle, add some water to the bottle, close it, shake. Tape the bottle closed, and then put the bottle in the trash with the cat litter.
The water will disovle the medication and someone would have to be desperate to go through cat litter.
I know CVS sells envelopes where you can mail unused/wanted medication back somewhere. But the packets are kind of small and expensive so I don't think that's your best option Connie.
I had this all ready to post but then I couldn't get an internet connection so I called Comcast. And that turned into this weird version of If you Give a Mouse a Cookie. Only if you make askye Call Comcast, she'll get frustrated, they'll disconnect her, then tell her she needs a new router. So she'll go the store, and forget her router (that is covered under a protection plan),but apply for a store credit card - and get one! and buy a tv! And then go back and get a new router! Only to still have problems and call Comcast and talk to two different people who tell her she needs a new modem.
Tomorrow before work I'm getting a new modem.
And I really wanted to set up my new tv and watch Netflix.
Doesn't ita use lidocaine patches? Maybe she could use them?
There's an idea . . .
ION, I have discovered a bizarre trigger--the automatic faucet in the company bathroom. Huntsman has automatic everything, faucet, soap dispenser, paper towels, and there are no family bathrooms in the patient wings, if someone is visiting, they've got to leave the wing and go around the elevator bank to go to the bathroom (they know it's a stupid design). So now I'm pinging on trekking to those bathrooms while visiting Hubby. This is a very inconvenient trigger (and truth).
I'm not too happy in elevators anymore, either.
At least I don't have to smell that horrifying antiseptic anymore.
People keep saying the police department, but from what I've heard they just dump them down the toilet. I'm thinking of asking the pharmacy if they have better resources.
The police departments in this town (actually all over Minnesota) have a "Take it to the Box" thingy where there are locked drop boxes for people to put unused medication in. They then take it to an incinerator. A quick Google says there are at least some locations in Utah which have something similar.
I'm starting a new chemo today,so any thoughts directed at "knock back the cancer so that Ginger's bones start making blood again" would be appreciated. Also, if you could, please direct about 2% of the ~ma to "leave her hair alone."
Best results from new chemo~ma, Ginger!
~ma for your marrow and ~ma for your hair and some for your whole self, Ginger.
All kinds of ~ma, Ginger.
Go, New Chemo, go!!! (And leave that hair alone)
