how do you know when you should lock your meds away?
i think i need to lock my meds away, or give them to T for a week.it seems i've got this almost pneumonia stuff going on, so i went to doc today and got several meds. (luckily they were generic and cheap) but i noticed while reading Rx info, you know side fx and such. it said to absolutely NOT NOT NOT take with any benzodiasapine, such as xanax.
when i continued to read on it said it could fatal reaction, i guess dealing with heart stuff.
well, at first i thought, ok i'd better not. but
well,...now i can't stop thinking about it. about how easily it would be to 'accidentally' take some. to have my 'accident',just not sure if this is obsessive thinking or depression, or what.
i have to be on this med for 10 days, and i thought maybe i give it to T for that time...
or am i just being silly.
maybe i just need to grow up and get with it....but the temptation.....
its kinda scaring me.

B2Chica, I am not sure how to answer your post. I hope others jump in here soon. For my perspective I would rather give them to someone other than my T to keep. Maybe my H or a sister or someone else I trusted. For me I think the T might think I would need to hospitalized and that would not work for me. Too scary. That would be my biggest problem with the T. So i don't know if your T would be the same or not. I just worry too if you are so worried. I don't think you are being silly, I think you are being cautious and that is a good thing always. But you do have your precious daughter to remember and I don't think you would do anything to leave her behind would you? She needs her mama not some one else to raise her right? So wouldn't you always protect yourself to see her protected? That is what I am thinking. You want to give her what you didn't have growing up and so you can't do yourself harm but you can put those things away for safe keeping just in case. rk
Anyway, you have to get well because we have to get through the Holidays together right!!!!~

I would recommend giving them to your husband, unless it would cause a power struggle between you. The only trouble with leaving them with your T (and I've done that) is that you can't get at them when you truly need them. That said, my T was honored that I trusted her so much.
Hope you feel better. I'm battling a nasty cold!

lock them up whenever you feel you need to.. no second guessing. but it should be the xanax under lock and key.... if you don't want to lock them up.. put them with something of your RL little one.. next to a toy. Everytime you take your meds you have to look at one reason not to do it.

Are they antibiotics? Did you call your pharmacist to make sure they are contradicted with the l0 day meds. Do you use benzos all the time or only as needed? Phillipa
