buying a pillbox here is quite expensive (no prices allowed) so i made my own, that way i know i won't fall short off pills, and obviously i don't put all my benzos/buper and meprobamate in the pillbox, this enables me to have a stach of pills... mostly i'm doing this cozz last time i ran out of everything i then went on a 2 day mephedrone bender, and felt soooooooo shitty afterwards, i wish i could have a "stach" just in case..

do any of you take these precautions?

if you don't does it sound like a good idea, (this is mainly aimed at people who have recreational drugs Rx'ed to them, and cant control themselves to not go over the top, and end up in a bad state), looking for a benzo, or an oxy or whatever you take for anxiety, insomnia, pain, etc.
 
Yes, I have a 7 day portable pill box that makes it easy to keep track of my medications.

Sometimes I get lazy and don't refill it and then I can't remember at the end of the day if I took everything I was suppose to.
 
I used to have one of those weekly planner pill holder things with a different pill in each slot. Then I went to jail and when I got out I got paranoid that if I ever got caught with it it would be about twenty felonies. Plus they got all my drugs except the collection, so I ate all of them, not at the same time LOL. Not exactly revelant, but as good an opportunity as I'm likely to get to tell that story. ;)
 
Well, I don't use my Rx-ed meds recreationaly, but I do use a pillbox method to keep track.

I have a blue and a green box. Blue for even numbered days, green for odd.

Makes it very easy to remember what you have taken that day, and what you would still be able to take. (Assuming you're choosing to adhere to the Rx-ed doses.)

I label the bottoms with the additional info labels they provide with scrips from most pharmacies. That way if I was to ever get stopped, it wouldn't look suspect. Quick way to just be able to grab the proper amount of the days medicine on your way out the door, while the rest stays safely at home. Away from temptation.

p.s.
-Perhaps this would get better replies in DC?
 
I used to use a pill box (well, 2, one for morning & one for night) for my rx-d meds. I just couldn't stand sitting down every Saturday night and planning all the pills out for a whole week. Looking at all those pills makes me feel crazy.
I did like how easy it was to see whether or not I'd missed some meds, but getting a few pills out of bottles in the am & pm is just something I'd rather do.
 
the problem with me is that i'll be very impulsive, and say fuckint i'll have 300mg diazepam/9mg loprazolam... and it goes on.... hopefully if i obey the pill box, it could be a great way for me to be constantly like, "my pills are for today not tommorow, and stick to that...

whether it will work, ongly god knows... but i feel like its a step towards a more stable, thrapeutic way of taking my meds.... coz if i go ino the next day, i know i'll be fucked tomorow
 
Yes I have a pillbox, a "semainier" in French (don't know the word in English, "weeker"?).
To keep track of my medication, because I used to forget to take the damn pill. Now the problem is solved.

Good idea for you, phatass, that way you just take what's in the damn pillbox for said day and aren't obliged to open a pack full of feelgood pills =D
 
I just carry around a portable pill "first aid kit". It's a small, short, round compact thing and within it are the keys to my extended mental security. Just in case I found myself in a situation of one type or another, the last thing I wanna do is be out of my dailies. Or be out somewhere having fun and suddenly realize I'm Adderall crashing with no backup anywhere in site. I won't be caught dead without it.

Good luck with that...I have a pill box, its a 14 compartment one, for am/pm each day. I thought it would work too, but if you are an addict like me you'll eventually say fuck this and cheat either by digging into the pill bottle itself or just taking the next few days pills. I used to just "sneak" extra pills outta the bottle and rationalize to myself that I wasnt messing anything up because I still had not dipped into the weekly box.

Benzos are a blessing and a curse to be scripted
 
^ Now that's organization! I feel like perhaps I should get one like that. It would please my obsessive compulsive nature.

I agree with you, but once i've filled up my pillbox, everytime i get tempted, i think of my last 2-3day mephedrone binge, then crash, and i was an emotional wreck, litterally nearly crying...

so i have a good incentive to stick to my pillbox, and keep the rest for emergency comedowns

never again i want to feel like i did after that 3 day bender of mephedrone....
 
I don't have a box or anything but i seperate my pills by what i'm going to take today in one bottle, what i'm allowed to take this week in another and in yet another the rest of the months worth of prescribed medications that I might want to take more of.
 
I dont because im not an everyday pill user, but i can see this coming in handy when using a substance such as k-pins which give me terrible memory loss.

but thats the thing, if you're going out for 1 day you take 1 pillbox "slot" if you're going axay for 2 days you take 2 pillbox slots... and so on, so you don't go out with you're months Rx of valium/roxy/morphine etc... and end up the next day going, fuck where did all my pills go...
 
I think I spent "no prices please" bucks on a pillbox. Broke the bank.
