If you want to stop taking prescription meds and they're cheap enough, keep buying them and stockpile.
(Source: Burninate)
Why?
So you can sell them on Silk Road?
I was thinking in case you need them again, to avoid the cost of convincing a doctor to prescribe them anew, but that too.
Or ask for a higher dosage than you need, split the pills in half and stockpile.
Make sure the pills can be split, if you do that.
Every pill can be split. Use your teeth or a knife if necessary ;) In the case of capsules filled with powder the procedure will be a bit more annoying, but still manageable.
Of course, these methods could lead to an increased rate of absorption, so be cautious.
If a pill isn't designed to be split, it means the manufacturer thinks it's unsafe to split. The manufacturer has expertise you should usually defer to.
In particular, don't split bupropion unless you want a seizure.
Life is dangerous. Of course you should search the internet before you try something new.
Funny, you should mention bupropion. I actually prefer splitting bupropion pills and chewing them a bit since the faster absorption-rate and thereby shorter action time allows me to sleep better. However, I only take 150mg.
...got tips or links on that? I'm thinking of doing that on top of my usual extended release intake, possibly in combination with other occasional-use meds such as alcohol.
I don't know, I just bite them approximately in half and chew them...
Important info you didn't mention: the thing tastes bitter and horrendous.
Oh yeah, sorry about that. I guess my gustatory sense isn't that sensitive anymore ;)
