Does anyone use poison pill rings to keep their meds in them?

@adhd

If you do, what are some potential issues I might have with keeping my #adhd #meds in a locket ring? How can I tell if a ring’s secret compartment will be big enough? (For context, I use Amoxetine (generic Strattera), which is only available as a caplet)

    I use one of these to keep a single atomoxetine capsule in if we are going to be out when I need to take it. It fits perfectly and I can keep it in my pocket or backpack without worry that it will get damaged or wet. Not sure if yours comes differently, but mine have always been a capsule and not a caplet (a capsule being a casing with powder in it and a caplet being an oblong solid pill of pressed medication).

    You need to be sure whatever you use fully seals out moisture, and protects the capsule from being damaged. The powder inside isn’t great to get in your eyes which could happen if it breaks and some gets in your hands without you realizing it.

      I used something like that back when I had scheduled medication. It’s really convenient, especially if you have to be outside when you’re taking the med. Tho sitting unused most of the time now, I still have mine, made of brass with brushed finish, smells metalic but looks dope.
