[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 306400, member: 1991"] If we're travelling for more than overnight, we pack a medications bag for the family, that has the prescription-labelled boxes in it. Otherwise I just carry medication foils, or an old pill bottle of difficult child 3's which has the label on it, but we've re-packed with a mix of short-acting and long-acting medications, solidly packed in firmly with cotton wool to avoid the pills rattling around and turning to dust. I figure if anyone pulls us over and queries it all, we DO have the boxes etc at home plus we only use one pharmacy and I have his phone number in my head (as well as on the labels). A simple phone call will prove our legitimacy. But to take whole boxes of all the medications out of the house would mean risking losing some or all as well as risk having it swiped. The bulk supply is more secure at home. Cops shoud be sympathetic to pre-loaded pill containers. People who abuse drugs usually carry much larger quantities. Another alternative you could consider that we also do - have a letter form the doctor which lists your medical history as well as what medications you take. The cops can always telephone the doctor to make sure the letter is genuine. A letter takes up a lot less space than pill boxes and is of no value to anyone who breaks into your car or handbag wanting drugs. Marg [/QUOTE]
