That sounds like a great way to get yourself killed.
Promise?
Tylenol poisoning is a truly awful way to die.
Grrreat!
Sounds like a win win to me.

I always find it weird that in the US they just give you a big ol' bottle of drugs. In Europe if you buy painkillers you get like 12 individually wrapped tablets.
tf? how am I supposed to abuse that few pills?
I think you could do yourself some serious mischief even with 12 pills. Depends on the drug of course.
I think it's more about stopping people from taking expired medication since if you've just got a huge bottle it's probably going to sit in the cupboard for years and years. I probably go through 7 or 8 packs of 12 pills a year, again depending on medication.
If it's codeine you're lucky to get 10 tablets per pack. I've even seen it as low as 6. But then something relatively harmless like antihistamine you get like 40 in a pack. Presumably if you overdose on those you would just be very mellow.
The idea is that overdosing is more difficult because it takes more effort. Accidental overdosing is also less likely. A bottle you can put to your mouth an just put it all in at once.
It also has the advantage of being able to cut off some off the blister, so you can take four or whatever pills with you without having to use extra packaging.
From the UK, had an operation and got given 10 codeine phosphate 30mg. Then went to the doctor who gave me 120 more. I was then hooked and went through a stage of CWE (Cold water extraction) with over the counter ones. Then the darkweb and eventually Xanax.
That's pretty irresponsible of them giving you 120. When I was given codeine they point blank refused to give me anything other than a weeks supply, if I needed more after that I had to go back to the hospital to get reassessed.
CWE
The Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) is a category system for hardware and software weaknesses and vulnerabilities. It is sustained by a community project with the goals of understanding flaws in software and hardware and creating automated tools that can be used to identify, fix, and prevent those flaws.[1] The project is sponsored by the office of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which is operated by The MITRE Corporation,[2] with support from US-CERT and the National Cyber Security Division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.[3][4]
The UK is becoming Merica lite.
You also get some medication in bottles in Europe, but pills in blisters are more common.
I don't think I've ever had bottles even prescription drugs have always been in individual wrapped packets.
At one point I was on some pretty strong painkillers and I'm pretty sure they didn't trust me even with the individually wrapped tablets they were individually boxed, with "Monday Morning", "Monday Afternoon", etc written on them.
Another fun fact if you have to peel the label back to see the dosage, it's actually just dealers choice.
if you press a thumbtack all the way through the lid near the edge, it completely negates the "push to turn" child safety--just open it like a regular bottle
Why though? A childproof lid isn't that difficult to open.
Weak hands can be troublesome. I recently had a ligament repair in my hand, and it does make it difficult/painful. It'll be a few weeks before I have the strength back
LPT: The lids on prescription pill bottles can usually be turned over and used as a cap, removing the child safety aspect. So now I can pop them open with one hand, no need to twist them
whatever level of difficulty you're defining as "not that difficult" -- remove that, and now it's zero.
that's why
I'll have to remember that one. I've just been using a knife to remove the outer shell of the cap.
But
What?
New chubbyemu video coming up.
That's only for liquid measurements.
You need to squeeze the liquid out of the gelcaps for the actual proper dosage. 🤦♂️
I haven’t laughed this much in a long time, thank you
Big pharma doesn't want you to know this one simple trick!
Is this a joke?
I don't get it. Is it just because that would make 1 serve 20 pills or so?
What is equate?
Yes. Yes. Equate is the store brand name for Wal Mart medications. Equate will make equivalent products to Advil, Tylenol, etc but for cheaper.
Equate is the Walmart store brand of medicine
I think equate is artificial sugar
Huh, no wonder my kidneys are ossifing.
