too many refills

[brynrevels]

My daughters father has a very bad back injury, he was prescribed oxies and perocets for years and started abusing them, he eventually ended up in prison over it. He is now clean from oxies for over a year, but has been taking tramadol, the doctor wants him to start back on narcotics since the tramadol wont last forever. About two months ago he thought he was out of refills and called into his doc for a refill, it was sent to the pharmacy, the pharmacy told him no that it was two days too early so he transferred it to another pharmacy, a few days later he received a call from the old pharmacy that his prescription was ready to be picked up so he did, so for the last two months both pharmacies have been filling them. He pays cash for his scripts since he has no insurance. The other day he went to get his script from one of the pharmacies and they said it was cancelled by the doctor but hadn't been contacted by the doctors office about it. He was told the next day to turn in to the county jail for a probation hold but wasn't told for what. Is what happened illegal? I am guessing the hold is for the multiple prescriptions, but since they are from the same doctor is that the same as doctor shopping? He is not my boyfriend anymore and hasn't been for over two years, but I am wondering if they can charge him with this and send him back to prison, if so I need to prepare my child. We live in Wisconsin by the way, and I have been on google all day and can't find anything about this exact drug in any situation, only ones like oxies and percocets and vicodin and stuff. PLEASE help if you can.

Is there anyone that you can call to check with? Such as Lawyer, Jail, etc.?

Did you say anything to your daughter or did you hold off until he comes in person?

Well he still isn't out, I am starting to think she lied to him about it. And yes, I did have that talk with him just yesterday, I can't allow him to do this to her anymore.

I hope that he has learned his lesson also!!! You beautiful little Princess can only handle so much disappointment. Little ones bounce back quickly BUT can only handle so much with someone she loves and is counting on to be her "Prince".  

I'm sure that you've already done this, but maybe you might consider sitting him down and telling him that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!! That you hope he is risking the love a BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS that thinks the sun rises and sets on him and NOT to HURT her like this again!!!! Like I said, I bet you've ALREADY had that talk with him.

We're here for you bryn always!!!....Sherry

I hope he learned his lesson too. This has been really hard on her and I. I don't want her to deal with this anymore. She is so wonderful, she is already reading short stories, loves painting and of course is a princess! She is so strong, and yet I think he takes that for granted.

I have been watching this post and I just wanted to say I hope this was a eye opener for him and since he needs the pain meds to try try not to use them wrong and try not to get into trouble with them. I wish there was another treatment for him but it sounds like there isn't. I hope he is able to spend some time with his daugher when he is out. With alot of people their kids is what wakes them up. I just hope it is that way in his case.
Best to luck to all of you,
Jamie

YAY!!!!!!!

I'm so HAPPY that this has worked out so well for your sweet little girl so she can still see her Daddy that she loves SOOO much!!.

I hate to ask this, but do you think that MAYBE this time he has learned his lesson?
I hope so because he has to stop and think how his actions will affect that little 5 year old in his life.


I wish for you only the best. PLEASE stay in touch. If he needs support with the constant pain that he is in this would be a GREAT forum for him to join.He would be welcome here and definitely get much needed support.

Thanks for the "GOOD NEWS" tonight....Sherry
