I saw this on the news @Former-Member, and thought the word 'tamper' was an interesting choice in words.
It's not possible to know why someone would tamper with meds for mental illness. It could have been a mistake, or it could have been trying to use active incrediant to sell on the blackmarket, or something else completely different.

if you can't find the box, perhaps your prescribing doctor can help. They should have a rough estimate of how much you should have gone through.
Hopefully over the next few days, we'll see what's happened. But it might also take a while with investigations too.

That's a really good point @CheerBear. @Former-Member your pharmacist will probably have a record of your prescription too, and yes there is a particular brand and dose so hopefully they can easily replace it.
