I totally know where you are coming fro n except I'm my own family member! I have 10 days tell I can refill took 2 of my last 3 and 1/2 pills this morning no one has any to buy and I am freaking out! I have been doing good I kept telling myself but I was lying to myself I don't no what to do either get ready for withdrawls I guess
You could try putting yourself on a very drastic taper so you have at least a little ammount everyday...you would still go threw some extent of withdrawl tho, maybe not the full fledged thing but pretty sever im guessing. Im really sorry to tell you this because it seems like you are not abusing your meds, legit need them, and are going threw this all because of said family member. As harsh as this might sound, you should be your main concern...not weather you are going to draw attention to the one who stole from you. I have done this MANY MANY times. No matter how much they love you and dont like seeing you in pain, they are sick with an addiction and will keep stealing from you regardless of how sick it makes you. Maybe having it out in the open will force them to be accountable for their actions and others can help make sure this dosent happen to you again.
Maybe it is time to draw attention to this family member as they obviously have a problem. This addiction is deadly.
It has definitely been a drastic taper & wudn't recommend!! I do appreciate the comments & any help! Thank you...
