Prescription fraud

Right at this moment...I am so so scared. My life is completely over and I don't know what to do. I have been phoning in fake scripts to a pharmacy for months now. I called the script in on Fri and went to pick it up on Sat. the lady there said she didn't see one for me and there wasn't one on hold. So.....rather than taking a lesson learned..I called it in again on Mon. went to pick it up and the pharm said he was waiting on a phone call back from the doc. what makes this even worse is my mother works for the doctor. I'm a terrible daughter..My mom didn't work mon or tues and she goes to work on wed(tomorrow) does the doctor have to report this to the police? Now, I know the doctor knows cause I tried to call the pharmacy back in desperate attempt to stop all this for catching up with me and vowing to myself and God to never do this again. What should I do ....call the doctor and confess...what if they fire my mom who is the best woman in the world..I can't believe this drug has a hold of me like this to do such terrible selfish things. I lay in bed every night and regret so much and hate myself for this. I use to be the happiest person in the world. God has blessed me so much and yet I go and screw things up. Any advice please please?

yes, i agree with telling your mother first of all.

besides, she may know about how the doctor has handled cases like yours, i'm sure you are not the first one and your mother will know what action is better to take.

Good luck and all the best !!!!! :)

Hi there,

Wow, I sure feel for you.  I'm with the other posters that say DON'T call the Doctor.

You DO need to tell your mom though.  She knows this Doctor much better than you and may better know how he reacts to such news.  She will know much better than us about whether and how to contact him.

Do not talk to HIM until you have at least spoken to your mom.  
Goodluck, I hope this all works out and becomes a great turnaround story.

No! We really do understand that you're scared, but your Mum really does need to know first. I suspect she will know the doctor far better than you do, and it will give you both time to consider how best to deal with this if you tell her now.

You can't know what your doctors reaction will be, but I bet it will be much better, if he knows you've been straight with your Mum, and I'm also sure that your Mum would want to be the first to know, despite the other stresses on your family.

It does take guts and it will be very upsetting for you both, but you need to tell her as soon as you can. We're all behind you.

No, he doesn't have to call the police.  But the pharmacist may.  You NEED to talk to an attorney, the doctor and your mom.....PRONTO!

Do you think I should contact the dr.? He has been my physician for 8 to 9 yrs now. Do you think this would be better to tell her I contacted the dr and have a solution to this before she walks into work blind sided and with the dr feeling like he has to be the one to tell her?
