I would do the same thing again if needed.
Med safety is tough sometimes.

My pdoc mentioned something similar months ago. Wasn't sure why she mentioned it, since I hadn't in any way abused meds at that point, but .
I'm afraid she's going to go that route now. But how did you take meds under supervision during off hours? I mean, every night, for example?

I'm sorry - I re-read and understand that you were IP during that time.
