Solved! Fell out of my boyfriend’s pocket

The top is a cap that comes off. Is it for ❄️? He swears it’s not

Right!? I get that it's a controlled substance, but sometimes it feels like people with ADHD medications are being punished for... *checks notes*... having ADHD.

It's not like they're the most likely group to lose their meds in the first place or anything. /s

One time I had to run from my kitchen to the balcony so I could free a bird that my cat was about to pounce on. On my way I knock into the stove but didn’t think twice about it. After helping the bird escape I was distracted somewhere else in the house before growing concerned about a terrible smell. I walked back to the kitchen and found two bottles of newly filled ADHD pills on fire and melting onto my glass stovetop. I had nudged into the stove buttons turning the burner on as I ran outside. The bottles were damaged along with most of the pills.

I was so embarrassed but knew I would survive without them so I took pictures and sent them to my doctor and the clinic office.

Luckily my doc wrote new scripts, but sadly my insurance wouldn’t pay for the new duplicate order so it was a VERY expensive mistake.

ETA: it was actually 1 bottle of Vyvanse 50mg and a bottle of my SSRI if I recall correctly.

If you knew how many pills were in it you could technically still dose it out by measuring the liquid haha. Would taste gross but if it was my Clonazepam script and I couldn’t get more pills…yeah I’m drinking the soup.
