Thumbs down Got caught getting meds from 2 docs

I went to my PCP today and while I was getting something else checked he pulled out a sheet from the insurance that stated they were concerned about the pain medication I was on. I am not sure what else it said on there but the doc was like why are you on all these. Now one I switched from in the middle of the month which might have really raised the flag.

But I am wondering now will the prescribing doctors also get that letter sent to them? I don't plan on going back to them and this has really scared the hell out of me, has anyone else gotten caught doing this?

I have never personally had that happen, but that is what we call (affectionately?)a jackpot, my friend, and the red flag is for you to get honest and get some help.

What do you mean by a jackpot? A wake up call that there is a problem?

Yeah I know, I already started a taper with the meds I have left and have cancelled my appointments. If my regular pain doc doesn't get rid of me I am just going to stay with him.

I sucks to be in chronic pain but also be an addict.

Big wake up call. Don't let it get to the point my hydrocodone addiction got to. I saw dozens of doctors at the same time. Had to in order to keep up with a 50 pill per day habit. And to the other poster about tapering. Good luck, because I think its all or nothing. When your body starts crying from the aches and pains of withdrawl, whether you are trying to taper or not, you'll take what you need to make that feeling stop. Well, I should say I would have, maybe you can do it. I abused hydrocodone for several years. Have been off of it for 3 years now. There isnt just physical withdrawl. There is emotional withdrawl also. The physical part is actually easier. Its only a miracle I dont have any liver damage from all that. Because each 10 mg lorcet I took also had 650 mg of tylenol in it. Should have died of tylenol poisoning. So, since I was spared all that, I feel like passing hope along. There is life after addiction.

Did you get caught seeing all those docs? That makes what I take pale in comparison. I take maybe a third of that and the withdrawals whenever I try to stop are sheer hell.

How long will they last?
