I copied perscriptions and used them

[scaredut]

I'm scared, how long will it take before the pharmacy finds out I copied perscriptions? It was on plan white paper, no protection paper that i noticed. I went to different pharmacies in different towns. I used different addresses on 3 of them. It was a prescription for phertermine. Total refilled 4. I just wanted to save up for the year. I do not why I did it. I never did this kind of thing before. I have a clean record, nothing. Why did I do this? Is there any one out there that can ease my mind. I will get help with some one. I just need to check with the hospital, on who would be best. I'm going to go nuts. How long will it take before I'm in the clear? If ever.

It sounds as if you are still wondering if they are on to you by the way it sounds to me they are or the police would not be checking your address just for the pharmacy's records dear. I would do as all are telling you contact a lawyer and he might tell you to go to the police but wait for that from the attorney. This is a major thing in your life and will take awhile to get out of it but you will as long as you try to take care of the problem that got you in this situation. I would think a doctor would most likely have to turn you in for that it is a felony as far as I know. My prayers for the best thing to happen for you in this situation.

Do you think the Dr. would tell you if she knew? I really think that the pharmacy called the doc and possibly other pharmacys too. Then the police were called to investigate. They most likely are getting all the  evidence they can and since its hippa related it may take awhile to get subpoenas/warrants to retrieve videos of you picking up, dropping off the scripts. As well as copies of the scripts...and background info on any other previous scripts.  Im sorry, Im not trying to scare you but since the police allready came to your place of employment-they are on to something. Call that attorney, your doctor would lose her license if she was caught digging you out of this. Dont wait, go see that attny asap!

If you have a free consultation with the lawyer I would take it. I doubt he will advise you to turn yourself in, but he can perhaps explain some different options for you.

Even if he did advise you to turn yourself in, you don't have to accept that advice. Lawyers are also bound by rules of confidentiality so he wouldn't turn you in either. A discussion with him may help to put things in perspective and set your mind at rest a bit.

If you intend going cold turkey be sure and read all the other similar posts on the list so you can be sure you are doing it properly and safely.

My personal favourite aids to withdrawal are the natural amino acid 5HTP which calms you right down, and Valerian Tincture which calms you and helps you sleep. Both are safe and non-habit forming and can be bought either from good health food stores or on-line.

There are many other aids which are described elsewhere in the list.

It may be tough for you for a little while but it WILL be well worth it in the longer term.

I really do feel for you, as fear is one of the most horrible and destructive emotions, but this will not go on for ever. There will be light at the end of the tunnel

You are very brave so stick with it!

good news for me, the dr called me and she had no idea why i called. that means that she does not know what i did yet. So, i'm thinks i'm still ok. I will throw the pills out. so they are not an issue. When I go to atty, i'm worried he is going to tell me to turn myselft in. What do you guys think? Do I do what he wants me to do? or wait tell they come for me and contact him?

I'm still going crazy, I went to the group today. It was ok. I found a lawyer but have not set up an appointment. He offers 1 free consultation. I'm scared to set it up until I hear back from the dr. I left a message for the dr to call me, tuesday. No word back from her yet .She is either really busy or she knows why i'm calling. I thought if she called me I would ask if she know what I am calling about, and if she says, yes, I'll spill my guts and tell her sorry. And that I will not involve her in any of this. And then call the atty. ASAP. IF for some reason she has no Idea why i'm call, I'll ask her question about how I can handle my  going through menipuse. Every day this goes on is driving me nuts. I can not live this way. So If I do not her from the dr by 4:30. I will call the atty and set up the appointment. So that I'm covered when it happens. And I will contunue to go to meetings every week.
