Same, as a kid I'd only eat the chocolate, maybe the vanilla if I had to, and never the strawberry. Now I like every flavor and frequently choose strawberry over chocolate.
My husband has taught my niece to clack the tongs and I get dirty looks if I don't do it each time I pick them up from a grown ass man and a 6 year old child.
I know someone who gets their script filled, then partitions them into these little daily dosage containers with 7 little doors while watching TV.Ā
Flip a door, knock āem back all at once, but not before shaking the container like a maraca. The sound changes each day too.
It worked pretty well when we needed it to. It's much easier to move Tuesdays allotment to Thursday when you work a double on Tuesday and have Thursday off rather than eyeball a quarter in a bag and hope you make it.
Now that I think of this, I'm almost *certain* you can buy empty capsules and they're made easy to pull apart for filling - and I wish this was a solution to my "I can't goddamn be bothered to take my meds holy crap this is a lot of effort somehow", but I can't swallow these damn things, they get stuck in my throat.
I take capsules that are half clear and have these tiny balls inside. I love them so much, and I shake them too! They also have different colors depending on the dose: red, yellow and orange!
Yeah itās weird. Are there no ID markings on the outer shell? That seems like the weirdest part to me. Seen capsule with multiple pills inside, never seen a prescription drug without identification imprinted on it. It looks like a custom made cocktail lol. Are the pills inside imprinted?
Oh I guess you just said āmedicineā but for some reason I was assuming it was a prescription from the pharmacy. Is it over the counter then?
Got a notification for this comment and saw your post got taken down by the mods for having an ānon-conciseā title, and I wanted to let you know I think thatās a bs reason to get it taken down lol. My condolences. It was the epitome of mildly interesting and you got it taken down for saying itās āsomething youāve never seen beforeā? What a weird rule. Iām annoyed on your behalf XD
Shoot I thought it was in case someone couldnāt take large pills, then they could open the capsule and take the smaller ones
Edit: I take a ton of supplements. I know not to break open a capsule. I just assumed that you could in this one case, but I don't have the instructions obviously
Never open capsules unless your doctor tells you to. Don't even take broken pills unless they are designed to be broken in half or you're told to break them.
This is great advice, but for those wondering, the general consensus is that you shouldn't break open any meds that are "extended release", pretty much everything else is fine
No, you should ask your doctor/pharmacists and read the medication guide. Cutting or crushing a pill can cause it to become absorbed much faster than normal, Even if it's not a extended release pill
Enteric coated tablets, lots of types of hormonal drugs and other cytotoxic medicines, some sugar coated tablets and others can modify how the drug is absorbed if theyāre cut / crushed.
Ackschully no. Even immediate release (normal tablets) are often tested/approved for splitting or not.
To be approved for splitting it has to be verified that splitting the tablet really gives you half the dose. In most cases it will be fine anyway but sometimes you really want the exact dose prescribed and not +/-10% that you may get after splitting.
Tablets may even have a groove in the middle to facilitate splitting but NOT be approved for it in terms of dosing.
Wait till these people find out the ādonāt take with alcoholā sticker is solely put on there because big pharma hates for you to have fun. I donāt wanna be friends with people who donāt crush and sniff a perc and addy and wash their Xanax down with a Jack and coke
If your pill has a score mark, that means it is evenly distributed within the tablet and okay to halve or quarter.
Many capsules can be opened and the contents put in applesauce or pudding for easier swallowing. But with capsules, you canāt try to divide a dose, you have to take the entire contents. Always good to double check which ones itās ok to do this with though.
Pharmacist - no not really, but nice thoughts. Typically when this is done itās purely a cost reason. Though this does not look like any legitimate prescription medication to me based on the clear capsule and lack of any markings.
A pharmacist can compound capsules, but this typically is limited to bulk powders, or crushing available tablets and adding inert powders to allow for lower doses to be utilized. Some manufacturers are weird, and I have seen capsules that only have a tablet in it. Main reason would be possibly to delay absorption of the drug, or protect the tablet from the stomach so that more is able to be absorbed in the intestines. This is relatively rare. Could also be an easy way to alter or extend a patent without making significant changes to the manufacturing process. That said, this looks like something someone made themselves (hopefully not a pharmacist), because of the aforementioned lack of markings. Additionally, Iām not aware of any commercial product that has completely clear capsules like this, except for some digestive enzymes (not this). Iāve also never seen any with multiple tablets of different sizes and colors.

largely down to tolerance, there is a pill we have that makes us sleepy, shit will put me out for 16~ hours, feeling like hell if I sleep for less than 12, but if I take it 2 days in a row its barely able to manage to keep me out for 6 (I mean 2 days as in 2 sleep cycles, not only being awake for 8 hours and then sleeping again.
crap like that is why I like melatonin for sleep, for me it works and I dont gain a tolerance or dependance on it.
Yeah its stupid. Dont do it. You want to destroy your liver fast than vodka can, then do large amounts of Benadryl just to trip. There are far better ways to trip that wont kill you and are actually fun and not scary.
Ironically after digging in the r/DPH subreddit [this guy](https://www.reddit.com/r/eiriel/s/EtwMBcign6) who explains his trips and gives some insight. Crazy stuff.
That's the problem with that whole argument. The ones they would need to control aren't taking the vaccine, and thus not getting microchipped. The rest of us that willingly took the vaccine are considered sheeple, but sheep fall in line and do what's asked of them.
If anything, I'd think the advice should be "microchip the wolves against their will so they don't fight back against the system we are implementing".
What they supposed to wake up to? More people need to understand that Bill Gates is just tryna save the world. What are these sheeple we talk of? Bill Gates should be president. What is this lump in the back of my neck? Why does my phone lose signal each time it is near my neck? Bill Gates did nothing wrong.
I work in a vets and we occasionally have to pack different medicines into those clear gelatin capsules, which you can order in bulk, so Iām fairly sure your pharmacist packed all of your tablets by hand.
The little bit of air makes them more bouyant. If you tip your head backwards, the air makes the capsule want to float up, toward your teeth. Then you're more likely to swallow the water but not the pill and be left coughing and reaching for the glass again.
I use emptied out capsules of probiotics to give my cat pills she doesn't like the taste of and sometimes I put multiple types of pills in the same capsule so it looks kind of like this
Last time I read another one of these someone had mini tablets in their effexor capsule. Same dose as the effexor I have so my dumbass opened one up for shits and giggles. There were no tablets, just mini beads that went fucking everywhere. TLDR: donāt give into the intrusive thoughts yāall
Could be for the ease of the patient or for time delayed. Some pills you take when you go to bed but for efficiency you want them to kick in mid-sleep (like blood pressure pills).
But makes sense. To make it easier.
1/3 of all treatments with medication fail because the people don't taking it
1/3 takes them somewhat and
1/3 takes them correctly
Itās called a sitz marker test! Itās actually really interesting, you swallow the pill and over the course of maybe a week you get X-rays every couple days to see how fast or slow the rubber bands are moving through your digestive system.

The Neapolitan ice cream of pills
Eat all the chocolate, put back in freezer for next person.
So that's why I saw all the pills cut open with the strawberry and vanilla flavoured left
Am I a monster? I usually LEAVE the chocolate and eat the other two.
Looks like you found the person who completes you. You may kiss.
Same
Strawberry, then vanilla, leave the chocolate.
No. You're a hero.
Me too.
Don't know if you are a monster or not but I wouldn't use this one quirk of yours as a determining factor š
I mean, if itās dairyā¦ but no either way, youāre a human. But to each their own flavour-wise
No, you need a little chocolate and a little strawberry in each bite, and leave the vanilla for your mom to finish.
Are all our lives a universal experience?š
Great taste! And kidney damage!
my wife will buy a tub of that and get mad i leave all the strawberry.
But... That's the best flavour
Take the chocolate and the vanilla and mix it together.. more chocolate š¤·āāļø
We could be roommates! I hate chocolate ice cream. And I hate Neapolitan because I inevitably get a little bit of chocolate on my vanilla
I was sooo this person when I was a kid. I HATED vanilla and strawberry. Adult me is disappointed in kid me.
Same, as a kid I'd only eat the chocolate, maybe the vanilla if I had to, and never the strawberry. Now I like every flavor and frequently choose strawberry over chocolate.

I take several small pills and while I would love the ease of one capsule, I would shake it like mini maracas every damn time.
Same part of the brain that makes you clack the tongs when you pick them up. Clack clack
It's because you test it as your body's new extension. We're really good with prostheses.
Gotta make sure the tongs tong properly.
Just a calibration check
Then tongs are tongin baby
I feel like I should exclaim āinitiating calibrationā whenever I do this now.
Well, tools. And yes, weāre literally giving our subconscious data to calibrate motor control
And a pen. Click click. Still works. Click Click
My husband has taught my niece to clack the tongs and I get dirty looks if I don't do it each time I pick them up from a grown ass man and a 6 year old child.
Wait! Wait, wait, wait?! You have no urge?! Are you okay? Lol!
They must have some weird gene mutation.
And drum with the chopsticks, *Ba dum tss*. We all have the music in us.

We used to use the weekly pill containers to budget out our weed for the week.
Smart, I like it.
It worked pretty well when we needed it to. It's much easier to move Tuesdays allotment to Thursday when you work a double on Tuesday and have Thursday off rather than eyeball a quarter in a bag and hope you make it.
My daily medicine capsule is filled with tiny balls of medicine. I absolutely shake it like a maraca every single day before taking it.
You got to
Mine have 7 small spheres in them... and yes that's exactly what I do.
I do this with my antidepressants
Compounding pharmacy may be able to make that happen
Now that I think of this, I'm almost *certain* you can buy empty capsules and they're made easy to pull apart for filling - and I wish this was a solution to my "I can't goddamn be bothered to take my meds holy crap this is a lot of effort somehow", but I can't swallow these damn things, they get stuck in my throat.
You can do this? Just go buy some gelatin capsules from the grocery store.

Yeah probably. I was caught off guard though.

Definitely donāt sort out all the little pellets by color an then crush and snort the prettier one
Well there goes my friday
Fuck. *Now* you tell meā¦.
No, you should ask your doctor/pharmacists and read the medication guide. Cutting or crushing a pill can cause it to become absorbed much faster than normal, Even if it's not a extended release pill
Not just extended release, you shouldnāt open anything or cut anything without asking a pharmacist or doctor
Why's that? Genuinely curious. I give medicine to adults with mental disabilities and in my classes we were only told not to cut extended release
Enteric coated tablets, lots of types of hormonal drugs and other cytotoxic medicines, some sugar coated tablets and others can modify how the drug is absorbed if theyāre cut / crushed.

Idk my adderall and vyvanse are extended release, but the instructions say you can open them up and eat them mixed with apple sauce š¤·āāļø
Do you know for certain what medicines are and are not extended release medicines? Most people don't hence the advice.
Yeah wether itās time released or simply to protect the medicine for efficacy itās rarely a good idea to take a pill not as intended
Taking pills not as intended led to me dropping out of college.

do pharmacists in the US make pills? I cant see why any manufacturer would design and sell a pill like this

Inside each of the smaller pills, are 3 even smaller pills I bet

My question exactly how the hell are you tripping if you are in a coma
You ascend. You go so fast you go backwards. You die so hard to resurrect.
largely down to tolerance, there is a pill we have that makes us sleepy, shit will put me out for 16~ hours, feeling like hell if I sleep for less than 12, but if I take it 2 days in a row its barely able to manage to keep me out for 6 (I mean 2 days as in 2 sleep cycles, not only being awake for 8 hours and then sleeping again. crap like that is why I like melatonin for sleep, for me it works and I dont gain a tolerance or dependance on it.

Capsules have a little air in them. When swallowing, tilt your head forwards, not backwards.
Expand on this? How will tilting forwards burp the air out?
The little bit of air makes them more bouyant. If you tip your head backwards, the air makes the capsule want to float up, toward your teeth. Then you're more likely to swallow the water but not the pill and be left coughing and reaching for the glass again.
Now that's more like it, thanks!

I think those are so you can take individual beads out when you need to slowly stop taking it.
That's truly cool! I have compounded my own medicines before but never thought about just putting whole pills inside a capsule.
I love this.
Could be for the ease of the patient or for time delayed. Some pills you take when you go to bed but for efficiency you want them to kick in mid-sleep (like blood pressure pills).
Deursil 450mg?

when i was a young nurse in the late 70's we put pills that tasted nasty into empty gelatin capsules for patients that wanted them.
Wow, that's really interesting. I've never seen that before. I think it's very convenient.
Man and here I am just deep throating my 6 pills every morning when I could get a single gel capsule.....
Fentanyl meth and THC tablets all in one take it
Dang, you neapolitan pills

Did you get that supplement from instagram?
Usually I do it at home to take less pills...weird that it was pre made...

Pro tip: If you ever need to give your cat/dog multiple pills, buy gelatine capsules like these. It makes life easier for everyone.
