After I was admitted with a suicide plan with intent my meds were kept from me for nearly 2 years until both my therapist and pdoc felt safe letting me have them. I didn't have anyone to hold my meds for me so they were kept in a locked box that my therapist held the key to. My pill box was kept in a box with a combination lock to slow me down if I got impulsive at my house and every week I took the locked box with me to my therapist who let me get a week's meds out. I lived with my mom for a while during that time and they had her lock OTC meds up then too. This was a therapist and pdoc I had been seeing for many years and had good, solid relationships with. And I had never taken pills against directions at all. There was even a time I wasn't allowed in the OTC med area of a store at all because I wasn't safe.

I think proving you are safe to have meds and that you are 100% compliant is a good thing. Frustrating. I remember how frustrating and what a big deal it was when first my therapist didn't watch me actually count each med and later when I was allowed 2 weeks of meds at a time.

I know that's not what you want to hear but looking back I needed all that time to become really safe again and I am glad they were so cautious with me.

Could your husband lock your meds up or keep them somewhere else so you can still go visit your cats? I just used a toolbox with a padlock and it was pretty secure.
