Unless you're threatening to SI, suicide or OD right then, unless it's a current threat, they won't do that. You're talking about tendencies not currently active behaviors, so really you should be ok.. Hope this helps.

YES! This. Have courage--talk to your T.
I don't think that your T can hold your meds for you. Mine did once, but it was a special circumstance involving the specific med I OD'd on. I can't remember what the issue was, but it was like, a one-time thing because I was having a meltdown and needed that med but they didn't trust me with it...something like that. It was 4 years ago. Anyway. I don't believe they will usually do that because of liability. Your pdoc
should write for your pharmacy to dispense a certain number of pills at a time. I don't believe it is really all that much more expensive since it's not a full prescription. Most copays cover a full thirty days' worth. If they were writing for, say, ten pills, I don't think it would be the same copay, but I don't know. That's how my insurance works, at least.
