No matter where you go or how you travel it is always a good idea to have extra medication with you. If you are traveling by air, make sure you carry on all your meds since your life could depend on the airlines not losing your luggage. (Don't ask me how I now this :sadangel: ) Lastly, take a moment and jot down all medications, dosages and important numbers and stick it in your wallet/purse. It wouldn't hurt to add if you have a history of something i.e. asthma, diabetes etc in case you are incapacitated and not able to provide the info.

Happy travels to you.

We're talking about non-recreational meds right? :leaving:

Define recreational considering one of the biggest problems with teenage drug use involves prescription drugs.

Trouble is, getting the insurance company to allow extra supply. :sadangel:

I know they don't make it easy. I think they are so stupid to not realize an extra supply is more cost effective in the long run than spending the money on emergency services, ICU's and eventual long term care and the facility costs associated with it. Insurance companies are one the the biggest problems with the healthcare industry going from circling the drain to almost being down the drain.:issues::issues::issues:
