oh that's really nice

I did not appreciate how annoying the childproof lids are until my college friend shared how to take them off. Life-changing.

rahaeli.bsky.social•160 days ago

I just am on record with the pharmacy as "please don't use the childproof lids" and they only miss that on like 1/20 prescriptions once or twice a year, which is a really good success rate

I haaaate that ADHD meds come in bottles with child-proof caps. I have to rely on my wife to crack them for me.

You can request that your pharmacy not use child proof caps for your meds.

I've used three different pharmacies over the last several years; all of them just slap their label on the manufacturers bottle. Fine by me.

Same, particularly as it's a 3mo supply and they're fairly large capsules so the handful of times they've put it in other bottles it's been very silly (though not as silly as trying to cram my tripan blister pack into a bottle instead of just putting a label on the box, heh)

Oh that's a nice touch. Mine keeps giving me just the painfully crap manufacturer bottles that I then fight with all month

Ahhh, useful! 8-)

(1/2) I can’t remember if I ever commented on a previous post about sunosi, but based on your mention I asked my psych np if I could try it, and it’s going well. Thank you for posting your experience with it!

(2/2) the child proof cap was an absolute fucker this month and I practically had to break into the bottle - not ideal first thing in the morning before meds

rahaeli.bsky.social•160 days ago

Woo, glad it's helping! I've definitely stuck on it because it's helping the POTS more than the sleep, but it's doing weird things for the sleep, too. And you can ask your pharmacy for non-childproof caps!

Mine do the sticker on the bottle thing. I'd prefer what yours do.

kevin.crime.group•161 days ago

I assumed they couldn’t fit the sticker on that small bottle :)

erikas.online•161 days ago

This is amazing lol I wish mine would do this instead of sending me the manufacturer’s bottle.

rahaeli.bsky.social•160 days ago

It may be because I'm on record with them as not being able to open childproof caps so they need to use the push-off caps.
