Help! I'm really worried!

[Braley (OP)]

At the beginning of the month my Dr accidentally wrote me out 2 scripts of Hydrocodone. Same Dr, but he wrote one the first week of the month, and wrote the second script the second week without me even requesting it, but my dumb self still went and got it. The first week I got the first filled at WalGreens, and the second script I got filled at Kroger. Both paid with cash. My question is what are the chances of him realizing what he did and then what I did, and what could my reason be for getting both filled? FYI he has done this multiple times with my Klonopin, and I only did that once with 2 pharmacies, and he didn't find out. I'm just really worried!

i think youre going to be okay here

as for a reason just incase, maybe something about he gave it to you? I mean getting a prescription filled after a Dr writes it for you is pretty much SOP

if it were me then I'd have corrected his error, thus earning more trust that is better in the long run, but that's just me.

god damn you honest junkies! The fuck are you trying to do, complety reverse the stigma that generations of junkies worked so hard for?!

[Braley (OP)]

But what if he asks why I went to 2 different pharmacies? One filled one week, and the other filled the next week?

well, you could just look at it as 'playing the long game'

exactly. it could be some sort of integrity test ... not likely ... but it's still not too late to fix it (by saying thanks for the two scripts and no need for this one).

your call.

[Guts]

Yeah that's a good idea. If your doctor brings it up, just say you thought it was for 2 months and you were just about to ask why you were given another script (if you've already been given the 3rd one).

I would play dumb. I'd throw my hands up and say "You're the doc, doc. Just doing what yah tell me to" or something.  No good can come out of admitting the truth. Most doctors fancy themselves geniuses... they do not like admitting they don't know something or that they made a mistake. If you don't say anything, I bet there's a good chance he/she doesn't either... even if he or she knows.

There is no way that I would bring it up. If he said anything I'd do exactly what Guts said, I'd shrug and say, "you're the doc, you write it, I just figure that I'm supposed to fill it."

As far as why two different pharmacies? The people who gave you a ride were going to a store by there so you filled it there. When you have to catch a ride with someone you can't always go to the same pharmacy.

[Chip]

is it a question of ethics or opportunism ? I have been guilty of both in my time so i am no saint, either ...

the OP is conflicted -- it's a gamble.

i wonder how this plays out.

[Braley (OP)]

10kites, perfect!!! Now I'm not so worried lol. Thank you guys so much!!! Y'all are awesome!!!

Doctors error.  Plead confusion, and explain that you just filled the prescription.  If he asks why the second pharmacy I would say that you are trying to compare the service and prices to find the best pharmacies.

You didn't really do anything wrong.  You didn't handle it perfectly, but I don't think you are at risk of something coming back to you from it.  Besides 25 to life in a maximum security prison of course.  I hope you like butt sex and cockroach racing.

So when I go back to pharmacy to get my next script filled, do you think they will catch it as long as it's been 30 days since my last refill?

Can someone answer me?

[Z]

They might catch it or they might not.  I honestly don't know how refills work when you have two scripts for the same thing.  I assume the only thing that wouldatter is the prescription with the refill not the other one.
