Think about it, most people would ask about 2 or 3 pills, but 100? This shows obvious intent.


I've got to go with you here. In view of the Board's policy about not providing drug ID information, not assisting "children" in locating lost/missing/inattentive parents, I think it's a bad policy with this type of question to provide any type of information. It's available on line, of course, but I do not want to be the person assisting someone.

The quantity concerns me. This is not "I took 3 when I should have taken 2." Were this question called into a Pharmacy it would MOST DEFINITELY NOT be answered.

I think this thread should not only be shut down, it should be closed.

Maybe I'm right. Maybe I'm wrong. But there has to be some responsibility to be on the safe side. From a legal standpoint I look at these questions as, "Do I want to be the person who provided the information, something desperate and terrible happens, what is my responsibility/liability."

From the standpoint of Board policy which we all respect, if "we" cannot give out drug ID because maybe someone will take "our" word for it and take the medication, then I see this to be in that same category.

Please - close it.

And to the OP - only you can clear this up. If your life is in pieces and you would like to talk, someone is always available here, you're anonymous, we don't judge and everybody has some point of reference/experience.
