copied Phentermine rx (caught)

I made 3 copies of the rx the dr gave me and took it to 3 pharmacies. I picked up one successfully but when I went to the second I was told they could not give it to me because the third pharmacy had just called and told them it was a duplicate. The pharmacist told me not to go to the other pharmacy because the police where over there. How deep in trouble am I? I only picked up one prescription and am really worried.

So far nothing has happened, but I'm waiting for a knock on the door anytime now. Hopefully the judge is lenient since this is my only offense. I learned my lesson.

I hope this is another case of scared straight, the things we will do to feed our addiction, actions such as yours should be a wake up call to all. I know the things i did to get my kicks, we have got to stay way from theses pills. The worst i did was hunted my nephew down with a shotgun after he stole all my drugs right after i got them filled. I had every intentions of killing him!!

I'm surprised, most pharmacies won't accept a copy of a narcotic prescription. It has to be the orginial on special paper.  I think you need to come clean with the doctor first and foremost and then see what an attorney will say to do. good luck

oh wait....you copied the scripts? Now that may be an issue......but its still a misdemeanor and if you havent had anything on your record they may be pretty lenient with you.....

i got caught callin in a fake script about 8 yrs ago and got arrested,,,,its only a misdemeanor and usually you can get off......all i had to do was 20 hrs of comm service and go to a drug class.....and they agreed not to go forward with the charge.......but i am in Maryland....so it might be different. I dont think you are gonna get in trouble though.....your doctor gave you 3 scripts....you only picked up one....so what if you turned them all in....you might have thought the other ones wouldnt be filled. I wouldnt worry about it.
