Drank from bottle that didn't have safety seal...worried!

Recommended Posts

I got a bottle of an anti anxiety supplement from the store and I noticed it didn't have an outer or inner safety seal. I took one serving and then started to worry that maybe I shouldn't have. I called the store and they said the other bottles are sealed. I can't stop worrying that someone might have poisoned it. Am I being paranoid? Is there a more likely explanation for no safety seal being on my bottle when the other ones were sealed? tango_face_plain.png How do I stop being anxious about this, it has been almost a month.  Are there test that can be done to check?

It's been a month since you took the dose from the bottle you thought wasn't sealed?? That's a long time, so you wouldn't have it in your system any longer. I wouldn't worry about that.. but since you are worried, I wouldn't take anymore since there was not a seal..

Agree with Holls.  If the supplement was tampered with, you would have felt the effects by now (actually, weeks ago).  If it is bothering you, throw the rest out and get a new bottle.

I was starting to get over this but then a few weeks after drinking it for the last time I had flu like symptoms and I was worrying again.  Poisoning probably doesn't work that way though.

Would you say that the fact that I didn't have bad symptoms following ingestion means that I would have had such a small amount that it didn't do any damage to me? 

Thanks for replying!  I am trying to put these worries to rest for good and I can't talk about this with people I know because they don't understand anxiety and they think I'm being paranoid

I think that you would have felt the effects almost immediately. You really don't need to worry about it. I would however throw that bottle away since it does make you worry. 

You also have to remember that  you only THINK something was done to the bottle.. you don't know that.. your anxiety is making you think the worst. 

Throw the bottle away and don't give it another thought.

What happened in your situation?  My medications helps me calm down on this issue and other health anxiety issues but it usually just a short term solution for panic attacks..I haven't found anything that helps long term
