Made copies of prescriptions. Should I avoid seeing Dr.?
OK so here is the deal. This specific doctor that I am seeing prescribed me two controlled subtances, oxycodone and Xanax, but his prescription papers are not the security paper that most doctor offices have, they were on regular computer paper. When I left there I figured why not stop at a store that has a professional laser printer/copy machine. So I did. I made four copies of each prescription and turned each two to four different pharmacies (only had my insurance pay for one of them so the other pharmacy doesn't tell me it's too early.)So they ended up going through but I just had to pay cash for the other ones. Each prescription had 3 refills and today I just went to all four pharmacies after insurance covered the one. So the others I paid in cash. I am kind of worried that if the doctor checks his Prescription Monitoring Program he will notice that I picked up 4 of each of his medications that he prescribed me? I am worried I can get in trouble if he ants to confront me about it. I know I'm dumb for doing it but it has worked for the past couple of doctors. Should I avoid the Dr or do you think he would call and let me know something is up if he noticed anything? Thanks so much!

You won't win this one. I had a friend steal a prescription pad from his doctor in order to get more pills, he was caught at the pharmacy and arrested. Luckily he wasn't a prior offender and he was court ordered to go to an out-patient rehab which in the long run was the best thing that happened to him.
I have had personal experience with this, so listen to me very carefully.....you WILL BE having a police detective knocking on your door in a few days. You WILL be arrested. And you will most definitely NOT get away with doing this. And the trouble you will be in will blow you away.
I've been there, and have done what you did. I hope the pills were worth it. Learn from me cuz ya better be prepared for the storm that is definitely coming....and there is nothing you can do now to stop the consequences.
And believe me, the consequences that you will be facing are going to HURT in many ways....

In Illinois, the PMS ties into a national data base AND your personal health information. So ANY doctor, pharmacist, ER, Urgent Care, and health care facility can access this information. There's a 7 day turnaround for info to be processed so sooner or later some flags are going to go up. When they do (not if) you'll be contacted by LE.
Often times, a doctor and/or pharmacist will just report directly to the police and not ever confront you. This is for their safety. The penalties for what you did are severe so you best get yourself to a rehab ASAP. It will go a long way toward your cause when you stand in front of the judge. Good luck-

I didnt think those type of pills could have refills either so if this is true i hope that you will take a real hard look at what is going on here and get some help on your own before the law requires you to do it.
Something is not quite right here. Refills are not allowed on oxycodone. Xanas, yes. But not painkillers.
I wonder if this is a real post.

I say this from direct experience. It may take the detectives some time to get your case put together. But when they are ready, you are going to be contacted in person, and you won't be returning home that same day.
