So I had surgery on my hand because of messed up tendons or whatever. During my recovery I was given, along side some other medication, a bottle with 3 pills of oxycodone, with the instructions if that if the painkillers don’t work, to take half a tablet, with one dose being the maximum for a whole day. After my recovery, I was talking with my mom about the surgery and my sister walked in and asked for the oxycodone because I didn’t need it anymore, I said no, and then she demanded for it, I said no, again, she said her bf had chronic pain and needed it, I said that if he had such bad pain he needed oxycodone he should go to the hospital. She stormed out of the room and slammed her bedroom door and I heard her talking with her boyfriend. I bought a safe and put the oxycodone in it to keep it away from her and then my sister started accusing me of not trusting her, I’m thinking of flushing the pills down the toilet. My mom and other sister is on my side, the first sister and her bf think I’m an asshole so I don’t know
Nta but please don’t flush your pills!!!!!! Dispose of them properly!!!!!! Go to a pharmacy!
NTA. Not sure where you are but some places you can return unused medications to local pharmacies.
Never give your prescription medication to someone else. Particularly not opiates. You could get in trouble for supplying them.
NTA, but pills in the sewer mess up the environment badly. Hand them back in at the farmacy. I was given oxy as well after a surgery, but wouldn’t touch the stuff. Too much risk of addiction, I’d rather be in pain for a while.

Please don’t flush them. Return them to the hospital or to a pharmacy for proper disposal.
NTA. Drop them off at the pharmacy for disposal. I would be concearned about your sister and/or her boyfriend abusing drugs due to the extent of the reaction.
You can take the pills back to the pharmacy for safe disposal. Don’t flush them.
Nta
This. Agree on both counts. NTA
NTA. Your sister sure is, though.
You’re doing what you’re supposed to do. Don’t let anyone coerce you into provide prescribed medications to them.
Please don’t flush the meds as that’s dangerous to the water system. Any local pharmacy should have an anonymous medication drop off bin and they will dispose of them properly.
NTA.
Don’t flush them down the toilet though. If you don’t need them any more, hand them in at a pharmacy. They will know how to dispose of them properly.
Return them to the pharmacy. Do NOT flush medication.
NTA
I think your sister and/or her bf have an opiate problem and are mad you’re not helping feed it.
NTA
It is illegal for you to give medication prescribed to you to anyone else. Does it happen? Sure but the fact she is getting this upset about 3 tabs of oxy indicates his pain isn’t so much chronic as it is imaginary for the purpose of a buzz.
NTA. So you’re living with an addict. Keep all your valuables locked up, it won’t be long before they’re turning the house over.
