Probably a good decision to switch to NSAIDs (at least when possible) please don't flush meds again though.

  > please don't flush meds again though. Curious why you say that? I was always told that this is what you were supposed to do

    I'm not totally sure why that's any better than throwing them into the trash. Are people really digging through garbage just hoping to find opiates? However, presuming you're not on a septic system, they end up in the river, just like any other form of pollution. Lots of police departments are taking them no questions asked. The city where I work's police/public affairs building has a big metal box with a one-way lid for unused drugs.

      > Are people really digging through garbage just hoping to find opiates? Where I live? eh... it's not common, but it definitely happens. And it's probably not just for opiates, but anything will probably do. I do get that putting them into the river/ocean is undesirable, though.
