Recently returned from the USA where we were able to purchase a tub of 500 of each of these. I appreciate we live in a different country but over here we can only buy 2 x 16 tablets at a time. Don’t know if it’s true but we were told it’s to prevent people from taking an overdose. Surely if someone is that desperate they will just go around different stores to purchase more.

Yes that's the reason. Sadly I agree with you, if some poor person is so distraught they want to take their live they will just go store to store or build up a stash over a few days.

Yes, they can build up a stash, but there are still people who don't realise how easy it ease to overdose and might do accidentally.

I put my paracetamol through & then go to another checkout & buy another pack. Otherwise I’d be the super market every other day buying parrots.
