If anyone has problems with impulse, sever anxiety, depression; meaning they may make a suicide attempt, then yes throw them away. Do not buy the mega size bottles etc.

But then on the flip side, there are people in Africa who have illnesses such as schizophrenia and cannot afford the medication to treat it. Shipping our unused meds is controversial, wether it'll do more harm than good. But it is an issue that shouldn't be ignored.

Another issue is the cost of these unused prescriptions to our health care plans and own pockets. Try to get samples from doctor first to see if you will stick with the med, especially the newer expensive ones. yaada-yaada-yaada
