Ever try weighing out your meds?

[Au_Ag]

I'm pretty sensitive to most meds - almost hypersensitive.

So for years, (decades?) I've been adjusting dosages by trial and error -

Works really, really good for me.

It's a hassle, can be a lot of hassle when attempting to come up with a correct dosage -

You have to weigh minimum amounts of

.1 of a grain, or

.005 grams.

Obviously a sensitive scale is a must -

I was fortunate to have an electronic reloading scale - true analytical quality, made by a lab equipment company, never went over big, long ago discontinued.

Since I weigh mine out each morning, I got to thinking I need a backup, since the other has been around a good fifteen years or more.

I bought a Iweigh I101

From a dealer on e-bay for about $115 including freight.

It doesn't show it in the link, but this has a small wind screen which is very useful.

I always used a cheap old scale, but solved my accuracy problems by cutting my meds (wink, wink) with manitol. Worked great. No one was the wiser. Plus I could breath easy not having to worry about some stupid punk having a heart attack at the playground where I sold the stuff... :aetsch:

Did you know that it is a felony offense to re-dispense prescription drugs
from the original bottle into some other container?
The SWAT team could break down your door and throw you in jail. :afraid:

I read that somewhere (sorry, no link).

Hmmm, I'm beginning to think I may have forgotten my meds today.:bear_rolleyes:

I have had concerns when I travel but since I am prescibed by a doctor to do so, figure it would likely only be a hassle factor, and always carry a copy of the prescription with me.

Speaking of other issues _grin_

I had an electrician over doing some work - came time to pay I had him come into my home.

He saw the scale, and loose white powder around it, coudln't take his eyes off it. Commented he had previous problems with cocaine and done time.

I showed him my drug capsules I was breaking open and weighing out - he saw it wasn't what he was interested in.

Still, he never took his eyes off it - seriously! I thought he was going to back out the door looking at it, but he turned around and didn't look back.

Done time? I hope he was a better electrician than he was a drug dealer.

Speaking of hypersensitivity (that's a long word), a girlfriend once gave me a Xanax or some such mood stabilizer type pill because I was feeling anxiety. It knocked me out, gone for 24 hours.

Hey, now that I think about it, maybe it was a Rufie.

It's been a long time, but as I recall, her name was Dolly, no wait...
It was a funnier name... something like Dommi, yeah that's it, Dommi Neatrix.

Ah, if I could only remember those good old days. :scorpio:
