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!

I'm not sure where you live, but federal law states medications such as oxycodone cannot be written with refills, so something already isn't right. It won't take your doctor to catch you on this one - I suspect it wouldn't be difficult for one of the pharmacies to catch on b/c you've got so many prescriptions out there. What you've done is a felony; at the very least, I think you'll get red flagged in the system and any prescription you get in the future will be verified with the doctor.

every state has a prescription monitoring system, so there is actually no way they could have got 4 refills, without the pharmacist looking at the last time you filled it. You either are lying or are about to do this.
