Today, when I picked up my repeat subscription of anti-anxiety medication, they had changed the packaging to be more 'child safe'. Now it's so hard to get the pills out that I had an anxiety attack trying to take one. FML

I think all negative commenters need to read up on anxiety disorders before they come to a conclusion of 'stop being a pussy'. Trust me, I'd love to not take meds and be normal for once in my life. But, my brain isn't like everyone else's. Gladly I haven't had a panic attack in over a year because of my medication. It's nothing to joke around with. Some people can lose motor functions because of panic attacks. I literally went blind from a panic attack once. If those who make fun of people with a mental illness had to live in their bodies, they would feel like utter shit. Just had to get that off my chest because I've suffered for years trying to find a way to control my disorder.

Oh you're the OP, thought you were another asshole with a " Well MY pills aren't like that..." story. FML

All these comments made me laugh. ...Also amuses me how this turned into a conversation on how I should smoke weed.

anxiety attacks? wtf is wrong with people these days.

I personally believe it stems from child coddling.

203 - More like a chemical imbalance. Nice try, though.

Mmmmmm how i love the smell of irony in the morning.

Well maybe you should get another anti-anxiety medication to counteract the first one. :-) Lmao...

OP, You can ask the drug store to put a NON childproof cap on the bottle. IF you have kids, remember to keep it out of their reach. Hope you see this post.

OP, Just saw your post about the individual packaging. Try opening them all when you get them, put them in a non childproof bottle. The drug store will give you one, if you ask. Please do this after you have taken a pill, so you can avoid an attack. Hope this helps. XO

Next time you get your meds you can have them change the bottles.
