This is scary, but if you use insurance, your prescription history is being monitored, both at the pharmacy and the insurance company. I think, however, unless you are going way out of line with 8 different prescriptions for hydro or schedule 2's, that you won't be bothered much. I know that in my pharmacy records it shows that I received 10 vicoden from ER doc and then 3 days later another script from my PCP. Usually the pharmacies won't mention stuff like that. Plus I have been to so many different doctors and specialists over the years, that my history must look questionable. However, only two or three pharmacists have ever said anything to me. I think it depends on if you have a nosy pharmacist or health plan. It only takes one questioning person to start the ball rolling against you when you are double dipping. The nazi pharmacist calls the doc, they interrogate you, then you are "red flagged" as a drug seeker. It happens to people whether they are truly "doctor shopping" or not. I think that legitimate pain patients often have to see several doctors before they will find one that will treat their pain. I guess if this is doctor shopping, then I am guilty. But a lot of us do, and a lot of us probably have prescriptions from different docs (although not concurrently) I think they are going after real pain patients as well as addicts, and that is a shame. It looks like we all have to suffer because of a few bad apples (and Bushes)
