[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 323764, member: 1963"] This was potentially dangerous, but really stupid as well. Near the end of husband's life, he was on very heavy duty pain medications. I was getting his AM pain medications and also grabbed two generic ibuprofen tabs because my knees were killing me. I took two timed release extra strength morphine tablets and handed over the ibuprofen to husband. An hour later I couldn't stand up, and he couldn't figure out why his medications weren't working. I wound up at the ER getting a couple of shots of some narcotic antagonist to block me from absorbing the rest of the medications and they kept me all day to make sure I was OK. Once we confirmed what had happened, husband took the correct medications. After that I got one of those super-duper pill minders and had HIM fill the thing up for the week. At the ER, I kept insisting that I didn't use or abuse narcotics. They pulled blood and of course the tox screened redlined for opiates. All I kept thinking was, "People take this stuff for FUN???" I've also dropped a few pagers in the john over the years. Lost one over the side of a fishing boat and it had been so annoying that husband wouldn't allow me to go in after it. I've tried to use a remote car starter with the TV remote, which didn't work very well. I was a complete flake even before the BiPolar (BP) and medications and stuff. [/QUOTE]
