Triggering (OD) - supervised prescriptions.....

shellz1986 · 19-11-2008, 08:34 PM

iWell on monday things got pretty intense and consequently i took an overdose of medications which i had not been taking for the puirpose of an overdose. My medications were being prescribed daily up until yesterday when they changed me to supervised prescriions, where i have to take the stuff with them watching me. This new prescription starts tomorrow nad it is making me really nervous.....i guess i just need some support and wondered whether anyone else has been in this situation?

I have been told they may do that with me and my local chemist is very good. He does that a lot aparently but how many times a day do you take meds? What happens for night meds etc? My chemist is open to 10pm so that no problem for me but how does that work otherwise?
What if you have a day out somewhere or wanna stay over somewhere away from chemist?

I dont have supervised meds but the doctor only gives me a weekly prescription at a time so that I dont store meds up and I dont have lots lying around the house. My mum always keeps my meds so that I cant get hold of them. It is good idea for your meds to be supervised if you are at risk and if you have any worries or are unsure about what is going to happen then it would be a good idea to ask the doctor prescribing it about the details and such like. Hope you're feeling better soon, always here if you need anything.

My mom locks my meds away. She gets them each morning to give to me. Its kinda a good thing though for me because I would save up the medcation to OD on, I have before. She also nags me until I actually shawllow it and she sometimes checks to make sure. I guess we all have our own ways of coping useing other people to help us.!! Just to let you know ur not alone, and there is also different forms of being safe i guess !!

I've never had this. But it doesn't sound too bad. Good luck
