If i get stuck due to flooding, is it better to cut my pills in half, or take them as usual and run the risk of running out completely?

Cut in half to prolo: It would depend on many factors; the type of med, the frequency needed, the length of time you anticipate that you will be stranded and so forth. There is no easy answer, but if you anticipate that you will be stranded for days and days and you have only a limited supply of meds and that you know you will run out, then cutting them in half makes the most sense.

Running out of meds: Why not just make sure you have an ample supply so you don't have to give yourself suboptimal self medicating or run out of meds.

Here are some...: Unexpected events like flooding coupled with restriction in timing of refill by insurance company may cause life woes. What you suggested is reasonable to tide over a short inconvenience as long as being closely self monitored. So, life is a constantly changing adjusting dynamic process of struggle to cope with reality, certainty, & uncertainty of daily living for survival, growth, & continuation.

Cut them in half: For most medications, a half a dose is better than nothing, and for some medications, missing several days in a row could have consequences though that would depend a lot on the condition being treated. So your idea of cutting pills in half is a good one

1/2 better than none: My sympathies about predicament. Better to take 1/2 of each med, this is akin to tapering. Hope you get access to prescription renewals ASAP. Good Luck

Depends on the meds: but if these are my only two choices and I know nothing more about you, I'd take half the dose.

It depends on: what medications one is taking. The best thing to do with psychiatric meds is try to stay on them for as long as possible without suddenly discontinuing them. Never cut an extended release (ER, XR) pill, however. For ER or XR pills, try taking them every other day, then every third day to space them out.

Depends: If the medication is for a life-threatening condition (very high blood pressure, glaucoma, insulin-dependent diabetes, atrial fibrillation , epilepsy etc) you may not have the option to reduce the dose without getting into trouble. If it is for something which is mostly a quality of life issue, you may space the pill out or cut it into halves regardless of the formulations given no other options.

Pills in half: Is better to take your pill in half until you get enough pill to start full dose.

Need More Details: The answer may depend on exactly what medicines are involved. In general, cutting back for a few days to keep from running out is not a serious issue, but there are some conditions and medicines for which it is vital to not reduce the dosage. So, I would need to know the medicine(s) involved.

It depends on the Rx: Most medications are effective only when a consistent drug level is present in the blood, so taking only a half dose may be too small to give any therapeutic effect, so I would recommend continuing full dose. On the other hand, there are some medications that can cause severe withdrawal symptoms if stopped abruptly, and are better if tapered off gradually. Hopefully you will not have to run out.

Best to Be Prepared: Being prepared for a flood in the best way to survive it with minimal loss to life and property. http://getthru.govt.nz/disasters/flood/

Hard to say: It depends on what the pills are and what they are for. In general having the dose should be safe but discuss this issue with your doctor about specific medications

Take them: as it is highly unlikely in modern society that you would be stuck for more than 24-48 hours anywhere. If you have access to the internet to write this question, you can reach out for emergency services if you end up in a life threatening situation.
