Question about Postdating

I guess everyone knows by now I cluck about everthing (big chicken)-My doctor post dates my scripts every month - I like my scripts written for every two weeks (do not like large # of pills around) so at my request, he writes one set for that day and another two weeks later - well I keep reading here about post dating not being appropriate and I do not want to be doing anything that the DEA does not like - I do not know why they scare me so much but they do - I only accept scripts from my doc, no dentist or anyone else and I use the same pharmacy - I have been so sick and in so much pain for so many years I just do not understand that feeling of doing something criminal every time I take a pill - thanks for any info Aver

Re: Question about Postdating

Hey Girl... I could be way off here..but if the doctor does it and you follow the rules-no early fills, etc. I don't see why there would be any problem?? But, I could be wrong....I would trust your doc if you feel he is a trustworthy chap!! The rules also might vary by state???

I had that instance where the pharmacy gave me back my paper Rx by accident. I called the doc and they told me to use it in place of the one I should pick up later in the month...that there would be no problem at all. And they were right....the pharmacy filled it without a skip. (Of course, it was for a Schedule III---Lortab, so that might have been why??)

I am sure my post was not much help...lol! Hope somebody can give you a concrete answer!!

Re: Question about Postdating

i do think that post dating rule really applies more to actual pain management facilitys than a plain old primary office type situation.i am wondering tho why you are spending all that extra money getting your Rxes done every two weeks?while i do understand not wanting to have all those meds there,why not spend the money you would be spending getting those rxes filled every two weeks and invest in a good safe so you can safely tuck away the extra till needed.this has got to be kind of spendy to just do this way.just having that extra Rx lying around can be an issue too ya know?i finally went out and just bought a good solid safe then had it bolted to the bottom of a closet.it really gives me alot more peace of mind doing things this way.just a thought for you.it doesn't have to be huge either,just allow enough room for the things you want to keep out of others hands.considering the money you would save in the long run,it would just be a good solid investment.marcia

Re: Question about Postdating

Hey FB - Thanks for your concern but my scripts cost me nothing, which when you look at the total for my family is great - My husbands company pays the co pays for everything as an extra benefit and then puts the total on our non taxable income - unheard of??? you bet, which is why retirement in the next few years will not happen - the crime rate in Tampa is getting horrific no matter what neighborhood you live in so the safe would be a really good idea - for a while I was sometimes taking extra medicine on days I was hurting alot so the safe would do nothing for that (did not tell my doc) - However I have become much more disciplined so I think I may try the safe since I do have alot of traffic in my house - Other than all that, you do not think there is any legal issue with postdating? Thanks Aver
