The box at home being locked was meant to slow me down if I got upset and impulsive; I never needed that safety feature.

It wasn't fun but it wasn't that bad either. It was what I needed to be safe and it worked. I'd do it again if I had to.
Thanks so much for your interesting information.

Hmm. That doesn't sound like a bad idea to me, and I'm thinking that when my pdoc mentioned something about me having to take meds under supervision, that's what she meant...a lock-box. I kept imagining myself driving to the clinic before bedtime and having some security guard watch people take their meds, lol. I couldn't figure out what on earth she was referring to.

I'm happy to hear that the lock-box was a success for you. That's great!

I wonder if I can request a lock box just in case I am tempted to take too many pills. I don't expect to be, but better safe than sorry.
