Re: [epilepsy] Re: new medication - Zonisamide

 

Mark S,
I haven't needed to but I think that if it is sent,the pills should be put in a full prescription bottle, stuffed/filled tightly with cotton to prevent them from rattling/shacking around against each other.

Subject: [epilepsy] Re: new medication - Zonisamide

 
I lived in an apartment in St. Louis for about a year and a half, many years ago. One time, I got back to the apartment after being home for a weekend, and I forgot my meds (was on Dilantin and Depakote at the time). I had mom send me some through the mail. She sent it in an envelope, and when I got it, some of the pills had broken. I cleaned the unbroken ones off as much as I could, but I could still taste the powder from the broken ones on them. YUCK! :p Next time that happened, she got a tube from the post office and sent them in it.

Moral to the story is: If you have to send pills through the mail, don't send them in an envelope! haha
