Surreptitious dosing


[ga...]

Recommended Posts

I need to spend one whole day at a hospital for a bunch of tests related to my autoimmune problems (routine stuff). I am tapering on the sly and might have to take a dose of my liquid L in the presence of medical people. Would it be OK to mix my L-vodka-water pre-measured dose with an equal part of chocolate almond milk in the almond milk bottle and carry it in my purse most of the day until it was time to take the dose? I'm pretty sure it would raise eyebrows and maybe get me in a heap of trouble if anyone knew it was a liquefied medication. (My medical record shows I am currently taking whole capsules.) But no one would care that I was drinking a bottle of almond milk. I've jumped through these hoops before and I am allowed to eat and drink in the afternoon. If not chocolate almond milk, anything else I could carry around with my dose mixed in it? I need to know the best way to disguise the dose so I can drink it openly. Thanks.

go to store get a small bottle of orange juice or what ever is in a white bottle with a twist off lid, dump contents and clean, then put your dose in that? that's my fear too, traveling and then dosing, AND when at hospital, if able to walk , u could drink it while in the LOO............tell them u gots to pee!..........and waa laa drink and do your business (dose), you can then also add more water to it to be sure to get your correct LT dose, just a thought  :thumbsup:

Once you have measured out the appropriate dose, you can dilute it with anything you want, in any amount you want.

 

Chocolate milk would certainly not be my preference, but that's your call. Fruit juice or even plain bottled water would be fine.

Are manufacturers just being anal when they say if you mix it with food you must consume it immediately? As in, they never tested it to see if the food or drink interacted with it, so they won't OK it? (Cuz they won't!)

 

Water would be my favorite, but the only small bottle I could find that was entirely opaque and had a screw cap was almond milk. Water would be good, except if someone got a whiff of it :laugh: or saw all the little undissolved bits floating in it. I figured an opaque bottle would be the best bet. Also, some people dissolve in milk or nut milks, so I figured that would be the closest to what people are already doing. One thing I was not sure about was the chocolate and sugar. But there weren't many choices in opaque bottles. Chocolate or unsweetened almond milk were all I could find. The unsweetened was kind of watery. The chocolate looked like it would be the best disguise. 8)

For better or worse, benzos are amazingly stable compounds.  Mix it with anything you want, and take it when you want.  The food will spoil before the benzo is affected. ::) 

 

My choice would be an 8 oz bottled water bottle.

Thanks peace and builder. I have come up with my plan. My concern was the little bits floating around in my dose and the odd smell of the vodka. I hunted the grocery store health food aisle today and I found a bottle of some weird health food drink that smells dreadful. It is nearly clear and has little bits of stuff floating around in it. Just like my dose! Perfect! I will dump it and clean it like you said, peace, and put my dose in it. It will look and smell weird but no weirder than the stuff I dumped out.

 

I really cannot get caught with a liquefied dose (or any suspicious liquid) because I am tapering on the sly. And I could be hooked up to some machine at dosing time. This hospital would put in my notes if they thought I was drinking something illicit and my prescriber would see it and cut me off. We have a very tenuous relationship, he and I. :-\

 

So I have my plan. Full speed ahead!  :clap:

Your secretly tapering your benzo at a hospital right now?

kind regards.

I'm not there yet. I just have to go in for a day for some routine testing related to a chronic health condition. My experience is you sit around forever waiting to just start and then you do some testing and sit around and do some testing, etc. I dose in the middle of the afternoon and don't want anybody to ask what I'm drinking if I happen to be near medical people when I need to dose.

 

I actually did dose in a hospital once when I got held for observation overnight due to tachycardia, but at that time I was liquid tapering under the supervision of my psychiatrist (who, sadly, left the practice) so I didn't have to conceal anything. My daughter went home and got my bottles and I just kept them in my overnight bag. When my psychiatrist left, he told me to not give up and keep tapering off, but the next doctor did not agree and told me to stay on. I kept tapering anyway, but much more slowly.

 

Testing time again and now I have to be more sneaky. Hence my bottle of weird healthy drink that smells like vinegar and ginger. Will replace it with my liquid dose very diluted and carry it that way so I can drink it when I need to no matter where I am.

Thanks. Haven't gone in yet. They called and are booking out for late April. So, unless there's a cancelation, it will be 2 weeks from now.
