Do you collect your pill bottles and stuff?

Post Reply New Topic

I have about 50 of mine, from the last almost 2 years, from prescriptions of Seroquel, Celexa, Haldol, Prozac, Zyprexa, Geodon, Abilify, Loxapine and Ativan. I also have blister packs from my Risperdal M-Tabs, even the empty ones, and the instruction paper that came in the box with them, and the box they came in. I also used to collect instruction papers for all my psych meds too, but when some got accidentally thrown out or something I gave up. I also had a booklet describing depression, its symptoms, its treatments inclusing meds, the types of antidepressants, a list of particular antidepressants, the side effects of the different types of antidepressants, hoe else to manage depression and a daily diary thing at the back where you put down on a scale of 1 to 5 how intensely you feel or act this way or that, and see how you're progressing with your meds. But I lost it. I also have some labeled plastic that some of my Ativan came in, but I lost the labeled plastic bags that some of my loxapine came in.

I d thjat until it make me feel uncomfortable ad my parens throw it out I tend to hoard a lot like pltes and that like when I've eaten but soda bottles and pill bottles I kep I don't know why I value it as a trophy

I have a lot of pill bottles, but I keep things in them.

I do have old hospital bracelets and stuff like that, though

I don't get my pills in bottles, just those blister packs. I don't keep my boxes. If I did I'd have 5-6 empty birth control boxes (as well as a couple of plan b ones too) as well as a whole stack of pain killer boxes.

I have one of my old Adderall bottles...as proof that I was actually prescribed Adderall at one time..because I want to get back on it someday.

I chucked out a whole 4 months supply of Celexa when I discontinued in 07. I didnt keep any of it. I still have the pillcutter though..

I don't have any pill bottles, other than some antibiotics and pain killers prescribed by a dentist.

And of course the antibiotics messed up my GI tract permanently and now I have to live with it.

From now on I'm not taking pharmaceuticals unless I'm dying.

Wow! You should have sent them to me! I need Celexa!


I still have some Haldol, Prozac, Geodon, Loxapine, Risperdal, Abilify, Zyprexa and Cogentin. My dad says I own a pharmacy now. But that's nothing to the tons of psychoactive drugs my boyfriend owns. He literally owns a pharmacy. Well, no, but he does have a lot of psych drugs.

Wow, you sound REALLY messed up. I never kept my old pills, because they go bad after a year. I have been on Zoloft, Geodon, Wellbutrin, Orap (for tourettes), Adderall, and a number of others in addition to what I'm on now-Strattera, Luvox, Neurontin, Risperdal, Haldol, and Restoril and Rozerem which are sleeping pills because I'm so wired. If you really take all that stuff, you must have real problems. Most of those are antipsychotics. I know that aspies can go psychotic in their teens and twenties-I did, certainly. But usually it takes only a couple drugs to get it under control, usually Risperdal and something else.

Bad girl. *slaps pensieve's wrist* Don't get some disease now, or even worse end up with a little Kanner-autistic boy who screams all the time, puts his head through the walls, and smears poop all over the kitchen. (Yes, I know, not ALL of the LFA's do, but some do.) Also, don't get addicted to painkillers. If you think your life is bad now, just wait until you're hooked on Vicodin or Oxycontin.

Well I did keep empty steroidal nasal sprays, I was planning on using them as cases for electret microphones but I never got around to doing that. I threw the cases out in a clear out of junk and then that make and model of nasal spray was discontinued.

Lol! Had I known you back then I would have. I had only just joined WP then though.

Im beginning to hold onto my Adderall XR bottles. I'm using them to keep change. Maybe I should make them into fireworks tho...

Pezar: LOL, I wasn't on all those at the same time! I was on one antipsychotic at a time, with one antidepressant at a time. Except when I was on Risperdal, Celexa and Abilify at once.


Some of my pills are expired, but I keep them as souvenirs. Some of them aren't expired.


Zen mistress: cool!

I don't but when my father died he had a trunk full of pill bottles.

He also had hundreds of empty egg cartons and ice cream containers.

Heaven knows what he thought they would be good for.
