Question: What would you do if your pharmacy gave you too many pills?

[Lewdog]

I had my medicine filled Saturday and I don't usually count them, but this morning I did and I think they gave me like 3 or 4 too many. Should I let them know? I don't want to get someone in trouble, but I am sure they will eventually find out they are short on the medicine at some point.

They'd just throw then away, so either way they lose.

Well it is a bit more complicated as well, as it is considered a controlled substance. It is like the very lowest category and was just added last year.

/—-/ Just call them and say what happened. You won’t get anyone in trouble. A lot of pharmacies use automatic pill counters. If it’s not calibrated correctly, the could end up short on controlled Rx and then someone would be in trouble.

Is this a trick question ?
I've heard of being too honest, but you can't be serious.

In 1971, I witnessed a friend of mine deface coins by
placing them on the railroad tracks to be run over by the train.
Should I inform the FBI ?

No? If a pharmacy comes up short on a controlled substance they can get in serious trouble. At the same time if someone gets caught giving out too many they can get in trouble. If read from some people that if I let them know they could tell my doctor, and it would show them I am honest about taking my meds as prescribed which can help a lot in the long run given the way patients are treated by doctors nowadays.

Not even remotely the same thing. They have machines at Disney World where you can turn coins into Disney emblems... If you aren't going to stick to the topic and be serious, don't post. Thanks.

I wouldn't know since I grow my own medicine.

Pretty sure you can't OD. You'll just get a wicked case of the munchies.

Yeah I am not into marijuana, but if it were legal, and if I could get it as a prescription I would use it instead of what I get now. I've just never had this happen.

Break the law or move.
I've been doing it over 40 years- probably what's kept me alive.
That's me a month ago in the avatar...do I look 58 ?

"What would you do if your pharmacy gave you too many pills?"

If it's a small neighborhood pharmacy, I might inform them discreetly about it, but a big corporation like Walmart or CVS that buys pills in large quantities, I'm sure their is a fairly liberal margin of error on the pill counts, unless some red flags start showing up, in which case they could likely back-track to the guilty employee.

I've heard you can on some of the high dosage edibles.
But you can OD on too much of anything.

I use Kratom every now and again, and it really doesn't help much. I did try the legal CBD here and it did absolutely nothing for me.

You're from KENTUCKY and you can't find any good cannabis ?
That's like saying you can't find any peaches in Georgia. My Mom is from Lexington.....I lived with my grandparents in Nicholasville and worked on a 200 acre horse farm for a year and got to know the main horse trainer who grew tons of red bud ( Really high quality) back near one of the ponds. I was the only one who knew about them and he would sell it to me practically free.

It isn't about finding it. I can't use it. I am drug tested at least every 2 months at the doctor's office and it is not legal here.

Been there myself.
Hard to fool those tests.

If you have someone else's clean fresh urine at body temperature to
fill the vial I've heard is the only fool-proof way.( and if they're watching that's probably a no-go)
