This morning when I went to take my pills

I got out my yogurt and popped the pills out of my blister pack. Looked at the pills and realized they were my night pills. I assumed that I had popped out the wrong ones but it was an error by my pharmacy! So glad I didn’t accidentally take them! They have always been awesome! Oops

oops is right. I know mistakes happen, but it’s kinda scary.

Yea, pharmacy errors do scare me a bit.

I always double check my pills.

I even check that the pill itself is labelled as said in the sheet inside.

And expiry date.

I get a bit like that.

I once had a pharmacy that gave me the wrong medicine altogether. I wasn’t even prescribed that med at all. I never went back to that pharmacy

One time the U.S. Postal Service accidentally delivered a a Rx to me that was meant for an address one street over. I didn’t initially notice because the Rx package was from the same mail order pharmacy that I use. I only realized the mistake after I opened the package and it contained psych meds for someone else. I brought the opened package over to the correct address and gave it to the guy who answered the door and I apologized for having opened it.

Then, some months later, my doorbell rings. I open the door and there was that same neighbor guy with a pharmacy package that was accidentally delivered to his address by the USPS. Fortunately, he hadn’t opened the package. The package contained my psych meds. :flushed:

It’s scary because if you’re not paying attention, you can get very hurt if it’s the wrong thing for you
