or u can sit back and wait o see what happened,,u call..if it were i would confront the pharmacist on his intents...
be safe...keep posting
I am a complete wreck right now and I am sure I will be whenever i confront the pharmacist if I do, will that person understand?
Thanks again.
I don't understand any of this, when the police is at my door, what do I say exactly?
Veilo that was not a good play
There is no possible way I can do this again, this situation is not for me and I just want everything to go back to normal already. I can afford to make my family go through this after almost losing me with Cancer and helping me pay treatments etc, it is just too damn much for me to handle!!
As you can see, I am refreshing this thread scared ********! Thanks for all the replies.
I am not ready to face this problem right now, so many things in my life, studies, work, my financial problem and most important of all, my family. What a shame!!
How much can a lawyer cost me in total for something like this?
Will my insurance drop me/????
I am devastated, I cant imagine myself in this position at this point in my life!! :(
I am looking for legal help but can't seem to find the right source.
Thanks for the replies.
I have no clue. but just be careful, and try not to do it again. I think they may check with the D, and do you forge them because you dont have insurance ? THousands of people do that because they dont have money for meds that they need. so you'll be ok, just try and put it behind you and just research and be prepared for the worst, which I think wont even happen, but may. Take care
I see what you mean about the ID but it has never happened before, ever. Not even the times when I went to pick up other sched.II for some family member in the past. I guess this one guy is strict about it?
I am going through all the possibilities in my head and I just cant leave this behind.
I still think I am pretty much fukked since the pharmacist rather waits to verify such "fake prescription" in order to mess me over.
Take a deep breath..... and call your oncologist. He/she can legally prescribe meds to help the lethargic feeling of chemo, just as with the nausea.. I wouldn't go into the pharmacy story with your doc because I doubt anything is going to happen from that, but if you are not an addict and just need some relief from your treatment.... your oncologist will and can help you.
This account has nothing to do with my actual real account, with my actual name and personal info, which is where I got the medications for Cancer along with the usage of my insurance etc..
There is no point calling my Oncologist now since he is somewhat of an assjhole and he wont prescribe anything for me to make me feel better, he will just say "Do excercise and go out more often", in a mockery tone. I can't change Oncologists at this point since I have been too long with him. Besides the fact that he is a major dikk, I trust him and I like him.
avisg: I am from South Florida.
mjones: this is something else that may have my hopes up. I even walked back to the store earlier than the 15 minutes they said my meds will be ready, so I even walked around in front of them for about 5 minutes, looking around and all, posing for the camera and smiling at the cashier as I signed my horrid signature.
That is my plan, to keep my mouth shut and just leave this stupid situation behind, all this garbage it is just not for me!
I will keep you posted on my situation. I've anonymously contacted an attorney which is an expert on these type of things and told him my story just in case.
just thank god you didn't get caught and don't ever do it again.
dominosarah: to call him if anything, no details whatsoever, just to call him.
Thanks again for your reply.
Another important thing you pointed out is the concern because just like you and I, I am sure there is at least more than one reader that is or has been or is planning to be in this situation and let me tell you, just as it has been said many times before all over the internet, DO NOT DO IT!
I am being honest and sincere with every detail on this thread so that in the future, if anyone shares this situation, they can relate to it and perhaps learn something form it.
Cheers...for now *bites nails*
The pharmacy staff [whether it be the technicians or actual pharmacist] requested your ID because they're onto what you're doing. Once they receive and write down all your information your ID provides them with, they contact the FDEA and begin the process of an investigation. They will not automatically just lock you up like you see on TV shows or reality shows that are ridiculous. Investigations take anywhere from 72-96 hours, or a little more given the advancements, etc. of the situation.
I will say this... Going to the pharmacy and apologizing will not get you out of trouble for your actions, unfortunately. I know these statements I've made to you will probably upset you, but you deserve and NEED to hear the truth about the matter right now. You have to understand that you're not the one and only person that has ever done this in their lifetime, so please try not to beat yourself up over this. Yes, what's done was wrong - but - what's done is now done. You can only move on and above this from here on out.
Forging a prescription doesn't always end up with jail time. However, it all depends on the amount of "fake" scripts were written. There was one gentleman who came into the pharmacy before and had filled out four different scripts for adderall (adderrall) [all on different months, obviously] and he never knew that we were onto him. ANY and ALL scripts for c3 drugs [narcotics] are called in to the prescribing doctor to inquire as to whether or not they wrote out for the script. We were expecting the man to come in on the 13th of that month [because he had been doing so the past months on the 13th, for 30 pills of Adderall (adderrall)] and he never showed up. Instead, the next day we just had the police go over to his residence to pick him up. He spent the day in jail, and was released until his court date. I had to be there on the court date, and this man had to attend meeting, etc. but went to jail for 90 days.
I hope this answered some of your questions. Once again, I know this may not be what you wish to hear right now, but I think it would help for you to hear the truth rather than just what people think will or will not happen. You seem remorseful and it seems as though you know what you did was wrong. You can only push yourself up out of the hole, don't go down any further. Please stay here on the forums and keep us all posted, and know that we're all here for you!
Another thing you have to keep in mind is that this doctor has already been called whether they were suspicious of your actions or not. ANY and all controlled substances, narcotics are called by the technicians [I used to do this as well when I worked at the pharmacy] and would ask either the nurse, the actual PCP [doctor] or someone who has access to your files [because the doctors ALWAYS make scans of the scripts they give to their patients] so... You might want to take action now.
You know why...?
...because when the "patient" receives the medication and has it within their belonging and signs for the medicine, pays for it, walks it out of the premises... The court, judge and lawyers are able to get the "patient" for illegally purchasing of controlled and/or narcotic substances/drugs, which is a far heavier weight to carry.
I seriously wish you [the original poster] the best of luck with all of this.
Will keep you all posted on this horrible, horrible situation.
Onto what Lee stated...
It does seem like there are truly two or three issues here, where number one.. You're forging scripts and unable to say as to whether or not you're addicted. And the second issue at hand being the forging issue all together. Have you given this any thought? PLEASE don't think we're attacking you, because Lee and I have been on the forums where other members have confronted us with what we didn't want to hear and/or tell ourselves. We're only here to help you face things.
Smile!
i am sorry you are going through all this, i went through chemo a few years ago, i was in so much pain there are no words for the amount of mental and physical pain i went through, i had to stop treatment because i became depressed, the chemo made me feel like i was dying, and to be honest i wanted to die
so i can see how something like that can make you turn to drugs, now an addiction has started, whatever the cause of our addiction we must remmeber that without treatment it will not go away, just like your cancer
i suggest you have a long talk with your doctor, they are now giving chemo patients vyvacn (sp) which is a narcotic speed like the adderal but its a long acting drug, i thought about taking this for energy a while back, and ask the forum doctors for advice, it may help to go over to the addictions forum and contact dr. j, he was caught diverting meds from patients, he will have guidence on what you should do about prescription fraud, he is a medical professional but also shares with the public what its like to become addicted, you can also contact him off the forum on youtube, i strongly disagree with him on one topic,(suboxone) but for everything else he is dead on! give it a try
As you all can see, I am still checking this thread for any info. You guys are the only ones that know about this problem I am in, no one else.
I'd take a deep breath and calm down a bit...it sounds like they may have you..I said MAY have you..I'd contact a lawyer and be ready with one just in case. Get rid of any trace of drugs in your house. Contact a local rehab unit and if nothing else get literature from several of them, so if you do go to court your lawyer can explain that you have a problem and you are actively seeking help...
On the other hand..it could be that the pharmacist took down the info and is waiting for you to return DO NOT RETURN to this pharmacy.
But most of all...calm down...if you approach this right with the authorities you won;t do any jail time, probably some probation, community service, or ordered to rehab...your chances are much better if you look into rehab yourself.
good luck
Jim
I will look into rehab (at least get something from them as proof to authorities that I am doing something about it) in spite the fact that I keep telling myself I do not have a drug problem, but this thread is making me realize that I do. As someone said "if drugs are bringing you problems, then you have a drug problem". That makes a lot of sense!
Thanks for your words!
leeisgettingclean: I highly doubt time frame has to do anything with it since they might be waiting for the beginning of next month to see if I do it again in order to take action on the situation. Even though I wont, they will still do something about it if that is the case. Thanks for the reply.
avisg: I am looking it up, thanks!
i never tried this med., was worried because it was a class iv narcotic, i was tired from another condition, and at the time i did not think it was worth the risk, speedy meds have a negative affect on me for some reason, even meds like welbutrin that are not narcotic

Hope all is well.....
(Anyone...has any of you heard from veilofmaya since then? Just wanting to know if she is okay.)
Write us back and let everyone know you are okay.
hang in there lady,
Greebs
You've gotten some good advice here, and I applaud you for wanting to do the right thing. However, the right thing morally & legally are two different things in your case. . .Like someone else here suggested, they probably would have already called the police if they knew at this point. Make no mistake, if you keep doing it they WILL catch you.
I would NOT under ANY circumstance go to them (pharmacy or police) and admit ANYTHING. If you do, you are doing a disservice to yourself. Yes I know you want to do what's right, and you can by stopping. But the legal system DOESN'T care what or how you feel. If a detective was to show up at your house, I would admit to NOTHING. If they want to question you further, PLEASE, PLEASE, use your right to a lawyer.
I am giving you this advice based on my own experience. What's done is done. You made a mistake, everyone does at some point in their life. You HAVE done the right thing by stopping, going to jail does not help your cause morally. . .If you need any more advice, or have questions, please email me at ***@****.
