Right now I have a number of medications in the safe that I no longer take. Some (like Lithium) I will definitely not take anymore because I developed kidney damage. Really, they should definitely be gotten rid of. Others I'll surely never take again. I just have them because I haven't gotten around to gathering them and taking them to the police station. And not my closest police station for my township (they don't take them), but the county police station. There the disposal is free. I could buy envelopes, which are tiny, from the pharmacy and send them to a disposal site, but the cost adds up, and why would I want to pay money to dispose of them? The stupid envelopes barely hold two small pill bottles. I've got almost a dozen, some large, that could be gotten rid of.

Once my husband and I did go to the country police station. Then I had loads of old medications. The ones I mention above are just ones that have accumulated since.

I do keep old dosages of Seroquel XR and regular Seroquel because my dose of Seroquel XR sometimes changes, so it's good to have various pill dosages around. The regular Seroquel I sometimes use as "prns" when mania is coming on. Pdoc will have me take those during the day, which I usually only take Seroquel XR at night.
