I won't even get started on the Trafficking in a Controlled Substance charge that would be placed on someone that would give/sell their pain medicine to someone else. (I used to work at the county jail here and have a background in law enforcement - Call me well-rounded.) :eek: |
Due to my MS I take large quantities of meds each day. If you have meds that you don't want or that are out dated, return them to the pharmacy to be destroyed. You won't get money back, of course, but this is THE safe way to dispose of medication. Please DO NOT dispose of medication by flushing them down the toilet. Even though sewage treatment plants clean the water, they are sometimes unable to remove traces of some medications. In some places, there are unreasonable amounts of ssri meds (antidepressants) in the water supply due to people getting rid of meds this way. Selling your meds or giving your meds to someone else is certainly illegal. If anything happened to the person who took your meds, YOU are responsible. Pharmacies won't allow meds to be returned as there is no way for them to tell if the meds have been tampered with. Once you buy them, they are yours. |

Just didn't want someone to run upon this thread later and get the wrong idea and think to themselves that they could do that and it'd be okay. That's all. :) |
I have 3 pharmacists in the family, no, you can't return them(even if you just left the store for a sec.) |

While pain-meds aren't too bad, I only get them when I need them. |
meds You know it depends on where you live...here is FLorida they don't even argue with anyone past 50...they must figure they aren't going to go away until they get what they came for....I have seen anything and everything returned to store...one woman returned an open carton of orange juice, saying she bought it and then decided to drink apple juice...Walmart took it back...of course they tossed it out, but they even took back a head of lettuce. I was at the pharmacy window and a man said he had half a bottle of blood pressure meds and wanted to return it and apply the credit to his new subscription..the clerk said, NO...so the manage came and let him do it...after he left he said the seniors are on a tight budget and they can't win arguing, in fact they cause such an uproar, it is best to let them have their way... So one day I was in Target with Kate and the man said I could not take her in...I said.."I am old, leave me alone..and he did..my husband said he will never go with me again...LOL |

LOL PAT - you hush - you are NOT OLD ! But I agree - seniors should be treated special - they really have it rough and our system is just so bad that I DREAD getting older now - |

I'm with ya. It's soo crappy how our seniors (in general) are treated. Exceptions should be made for senior citizens (and not just that stupid 10% senior discount either....what's that, tax?) |
