My pain doc even suggested putting my " backups " in the fridge or

freezer to help keep them longer. I haven't done this myself,

because I keep my pain meds in a locked safe. And I think I'd check

with a pharmacist first to make sure it wouldn't damage the

particular medicine - I do think it would depend on what kind/type of

drug you were using.

(BTW, my pain doc is completely aware that I've " hoarded " a stash.

He even **unofficially** (as in he'd never admit it in a court of

law!) suggested that it was a very good idea, given the state of our

nation. If there was an emergency due to natural disasters like

Katrina or another 911, he says, we might have a lot of trouble

getting meds from a pharmacy in time if we didn't have some stashed

away.)

I've done it the same way you did, Jim. I skipped doses where I

could stand to do it so that I could save up some.
