No, but only because I haven't been on prescribed medication since I was young and my parents prepared it for me. |

My wife ate all the Vicodin I was saving.  |

Yes. Only pain med. Rarely but it does come in handy when I am at my deepest need, but it has been years since I've been desperate enough. |
| cloudhugger | | posted 18-Jul-2008 7:16pm |
If it is for an infection, I use it till it is done. |
| llamamama | | posted 18-Jul-2008 7:21pm |
No, I always finish my meds. That's a dumb/dangerous thing to do. |
| JessicaWoman99 | | posted 18-Jul-2008 8:23pm |
No I finish my medications and any un-used ones i throw away |
| LindaH | | posted 18-Jul-2008 8:45pm |
Yes. If prescription medicine was cheaper and easier to get, I would feel no need to do this. I see nothing wrong or dangerous about doing this. No qualms, whatsoever. |

No because except for eyedrops, I don't use prescrip meds. |

We have Vicodin and Percosets. They are good to have around, because we both get migraines and kidney stones.

Actually, come to think of it the pills I had (2 or 3 of them) were probably Percosets (or, actually Roxicet? something like that). Though, I guess they are all the same thing when it comes down to it. She had good reason to use them. I think it may have been tooth pain, just before a root canal was done. I've heard they sell for $10 a pill on the black market. I've never taken them for fun, though. Feeling doped up like that is not that appealing to me. Saving them for actual pain seems more important too. I hope I never get a kidney stone. That sounds awful. |

I wish my life was as fun as this survey implies. |
| jettles | | posted 19-Jul-2008 8:26am |
it isn't really what i would call saving it......... i usually forget that it is there and then discover it later when it is either out of date or i don't need it any longer. usually don't ever use it again. |

It's dangerous to not finish antibiotics, not dangerous to not finish pain meds and take them for something else later.
I save Tylenol 3, Lorcet and Hydrocodone to take later. If I have no pain, I don't take it. Why throw away good pain meds? If you have pain later, it's good to have around. Especially for toothaches or an injury when over the counter stuff wont work. |

It's not appealing to us either... which is why we have a ton of it. |
| Enheduanna | | posted 19-Jul-2008 1:49pm |
Absolutely, if it's something that I end up with extra of. I don't get prescription medicine that often, and when I do it's usually something I have to use continuously until it's gone. I've also never had prescription painkillers, but I would definitely keep the extra of those! |
| Cain | | posted 19-Jul-2008 3:34pm |
Yes - strong painkillers. |
| Gomezy3k | | posted 20-Jul-2008 10:38am |
I have a huge box filled with old Rx bottles that are either filled or partially filled... I dig them out if I need them... |
| Matty | | posted 21-Jul-2008 8:38am |
Whenever I get some good pain medication, I generally just take the pain for an extended period of time, and then take about 3-4 times the prescribed dosage at once. It's fudging great! |
| RainingFeathers | | posted 21-Jul-2008 11:53am |
No, because I don't get prescription medications. I've never had anything more serious than a cold, and a just take a couple of Tylenols for that on wait til it passes. |
| moviesnob | | posted 21-Jul-2008 4:13pm |
Typically I finish the medication. I don't think I've ever had an instance where I didn't finish the medication. |
| cerealkiller | | posted 24-Jul-2008 6:16pm |
Yeah, I have a whole ton of various anti-depressants. Need any? |
| LindaH |
Nope. I could use a mild stimulant for the mid day groggies and a sleeping pill for insomnia though. |
| kcthedog | | posted 25-Jul-2008 12:45am |
 No, because I always finish the medication
Hell I make up ailments for medication , I mean you never know when they will come in handy! |
| justjulie | | posted 17-Aug-2008 7:36am |
