[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 306551, member: 2459"] I'm pretty tired and haven't read all of the previous responses but... When difficult child spends the night somewhere, I will give him his medications in the pill bottles but ONLY the amount he needs plus one dose, just in case. The rest I put in ziplock baggies at home (if I don't have extra bottles) with all of the info written on the bag. difficult child's name, the total medication name/description, dose instructions, mg's, Rx #, refills if any...everything. I don't want him running around with an entire month's worth to lose or get stolen but I don't want him running around with a baggie full of unmarked pills either. If we travel together, I will usually take it all but if you are uncomfortable with that, I would leave some at home in extra bottles. As I think other's have said....you can get extra labeled bottles from the pharmacy. Whatever you do though, DEFINATELY have the medications in officially labeled bottles. If you are stopped or if there is an accident, there won't be any question of "illegal" pills in your possession and/or with the labels, anyone who would need to know, WILL know who takes what. Put them all in a lockable box if you want (craft/sewing box, tackle box, etc. with a small luggage type lock) but take them marked. [/QUOTE]
