Adderall prescription forgery

I've been forging some blank prescriptions this guy I knew gave me about 2 years ago. Been using fake name and correct dea# and I've done this about 4 times (he gave me 5 prescriptions) and tonight was my last one. Tonight they asked for my ID and i just gave it to them, and the guy apparently wrote my information from my ID. I have no idea why i gave him my id, maybe subconsciously, I wanted to get caught. I am just not good at this since this is the only bad thing ive done in my life, but i figured it was for my own good.

I am scared, so scared, I dont know what to do at this point. The main reason why I did this was because I just got out of radiation and chemo from a lyphoma and I was feeling so down so I figured I would use amphetamines to bring me up a little. I never imagined it would end like this.

I need some serious advice, I am willing to go back to the pharmacy and tell them to please not turn me in and all this will stop, i have no more blank prescriptions anyway. I am in fear, I cant sleep now. All I want is for this nightmare to end, I have done absolutely nothing illegal in my entire life, my criminal record is clean.

Can anyone give me a good advice on how to confront this horrible situation i am in? I am in fear of my family mainly, my career and education and all the time and money involved. I WANT THIS TO END!!!! I am so ashamed and regretful of this, you have no idea. I needed to vent all this somewhere and I definitely need some advice.

I figure since this is a long weekend, they will check with the MD by tuesday and tuesday night I will have the police knocking at my door and be arrested or something, I dont know how this works.

I am an emotional wreck right now, any advice will be helpful.

Don't dare go to the pharmacist! These people telling you to go to the pharmacist are CRAZY!! The only reason you have regret is because you used your ID, not because you feel bad about what you did. The pharmacist will have no sympathy for you because your actions only make him look bad. He's not gonna feel sorry for you because your scared knowing you screwed up. Just leave it alone an never go back! If he suspected forgery than he wouldn't have filled the script. The pharmacist isn't gonna report you after the fact because it was his job to verify before the fact. Your seriously over reacting. Your gonna be fine!

I have not read my own post but I am sure how ridiculous it will now look to me.

I just wanted to thank everyone for the advice at the moment.

Anyone who is interested on doing this or knows someone who does it, I strongly advice you to stay away from it. You will eventually pay the consequences, one way or another. Besides that, it will scar you for life.

Worried,
  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 ***@****.

Well...I've read through this entire thread and am wondering if you are feeling better (ie no knock on your door) or if you've had to pay the piper?
(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,

99% of the time when u leave the pharmacy you have committed the sin and got away with it.  If you have insurance and do it with your real info there's a chance your insurance company can call the doctor to verify the script.  I've abused for the last two years, and stopped in June.  I've relapsed a few times, and it's not fun when I do. I used suboxone which worked 4 me, but it's a temporary crutch that will not last forever.  I highly suggest God, therapist, and a good supporting family/friends...If you KNOW your going to be busted with a fake script I highly suggest calling the DOC or going there and explaining this problem u have, really u have nothing to loose at this point...If you wrote a few (1-5) scripts and get busted with NO criminal background you will be submitted to rehab, community service, prob, etc....You could go 2 jail, but the DEA/JUDGE/DA want people who have intent to sell also the doctor could bail u out if your fortunate...Be safe, these pills are all junk, and reality is in a far distance when your on them....j

oh sorry it was provigal i asked the doctor about, but if you are sick and going through chemo, sometimes we might have to consider taking something during times of illness
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

You may just go into rehab as proof for the authorities and come out well.....stranger things have happened.....

Beargizmo: I am sure "approach it right with authorities" means something like, not run from the guys or not hit them or not curse at them? I am the type of person that is capable of offering them something to drink as they come to arrest me. If anything happens, I will be 100% honest because I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face if I lie.

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 agree about looking into rehab, that is a good idea. For now you just have to be as calm as possible. I would think if they had you they would have come by now, i know it was the holiday, however cops and detectives still work, and i highly doubt they would have over looked it this long.

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

adderal is a narcotic, anytime someone picks up a narcotic at a pharmacy they must show id
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

Will be ok? Well, I will live through it but now no job will want to hire me because of this "drug record", my insurance will most likely drop me, I will have to spend at least $10,000, my school wont want to admit me anymore or give me financial aid due to this drug record. I think this will scar me for life.

Just know that we're all here for you no matter what. Like Sara said, what's done is done and what we can focus on now is getting you away from anything that you feel the need to turn to in order to get your energy levels back up. It can be done without the assistance of any other medications, even after chemo. I know because of a family member who was right where you are [minus the forged scripts] when it came to needing and wanting more energy after radiation and chemo. It can be done, just have a little faith in the process as well as yourself.

Smile!

I can understand your thinking after the CHEMO, that stimulants will get you through the day. If they worked in doing so, then present this to your doctor. Tell him you tried some from your brother and they where help full. Perhaps the doctor will know and understand your need to function to take care of yourself work etc. MAybe he will prescribe Adderal or something else to help. Your needs may get treated and your doctor may find it acceptable to use. But do keep your mind open that it could be a problem and be care full. I understand and accept your need for them at face value. I am sorry some from the board is/are not supporting your need for the Adderal as possibly legit. Usually the "two" who always report those type posts to the moderator and they then get a warning for having an opinion, for not supporting you and/or for arguing your needs.

Of course you are a emotional wreck and rightfully so.  You will be okay no matter what happens with this.  I know that is hard to fathom right now but you will be.  Have you thought about going to a counselor?  You have overcome some major obstacles with your cancer and all.  You are a good person just down on your luck right now.......There is always hope........sara

Well, what can I say, I am devastated and it is very hard for me to face this, regardless of what I said on my prior posts. I know I come off as a druggie but I have been nothing but great until now, until I got into this, my family wont believe it. I guess I do have a drug problem and this is a great way for me to realize it once and for all. Everything happens for a reason and I cant wait to find out what that reason is. Like I just said, I am devastated and I am an emotional wreck right now. Not much for me to say.

I have followed this thread from the beginning.  My thoughts on this is it is a done deal.  The scripts were forged and whatever happens now will happen.  Nothing can be done about that.  My concern is how can we help you with getting off the Adderal so you dont have to rely on a med to feel good.  We are here for you.....sara
