Klonopin & Gabapentin for sleep

I expect they are more worried about hoarding of the pills from someone who might be suicidal.
A pill safe would not be effective to prevent someone from hoarding.
A twelve hour time release pill would be good if there is such a thing.
I’m wondering if the morning pill puts jdtay to sleep during the day? I would think so if waking at 2:00 and unable to go back to sleep.
All of this would certainly get the sleep cycle turned around.

Maybe. But this really gets me! I don't need the government or pharmacy policing how I take my medication, this is ludicris! If someone is suicidal it won't matter if they've been prevented from hoarding controlled meds or not. Plenty of other meds are just as deadly overdosing on and plenty of ways to take your own life if that's what someone has decided to do. I have 2 drawers full of different pills mostly psych meds they handout like its candy and just as fatal if you take enough. My pediatric specialists used to bring me grocery bags full of medicine after I turned 18 and no longer covered on my dads policy. This included enough prednisone and sus-phrine vials/ syringes, terbutaline and other meds to last quite awhile. He was a professor of medicine, head of his dept and very much admired physician who today would end up in prison for making sure I had what I needed. He taught me at 18 that it's my responsibility to know what I'm taking and how to find that information in a PDR which is what every capable adult should do.
