Hey Kathy...
Every time I read posts on this topic, I get fired up again. You know probably at least half of the people on this, and most of the other boards are double, triple, or even quadruple dipping. You'd be amazed at some of the PM's I've recieved from people about the dillemmas they've gotten themselves into. I don't post much on this board, mostly the VIP board, and I think because I had so many PM's from people here about it. It's rampant though, on both sides, and everywhere.

I want to totally back you on this. You're right, it's not OK, and hurts us all in the end if you get caught, because it gives the appearance (true or not) of illegitamite complaints/conditions. There are OP's out there that can prescribe 120 tabs, and some that will do even more, you just have to know who they are! If you look you'll find them, even in this forum, and I'm talking about US OP's. MPC is only one of them. Thing is, there are too many recreational users, even on the boards here. There's no system that's perfect, but it could be better, and I think that ALL OP's should require either past records, or a new exam. I don't know of anyone that can justify not being able to get some type of record, past or present, and have a legitimate complaint. PERIOD.

Eventually, there may come a day when all the OP's are put under some regulations. I can almost guarantee you that one of them will be providing records documenting your complaint (whatever it may be).

There are so many advantages to having good records, I don't know where to start, and they're too numerous to list, but mainly you're going to be able to use a better OP. One that's cheaper, prescribes more tabs per month, and won't be shut down!

Now I never persecute anyone who double-dips, and all their info is kept between myself and that person, but I do know plenty of people like this. I will give everyone the same advice that I give them, do one of the following:

1. Get with an OP that will prescribe you what you need
(If need be, I'll provide the name in a PM)
2. Find a good pain doctor
3. Regulate your intake, so you don't have to double dip

All of these are good options to double dipping, so I hope that someone takes this to heart. If you get caught by an OP, you'll more than likely just lose your refills. If it's the "law", then you might get in a little more trouble. If it's your insurance (which is pretty boneheaded), you can actually lose your insurance, or they'll give the info to your doc, and the local PD.

It's just not worth the risk anymore, and I do hope to see more people do one of the above, for the sake of all. People just don't realize what's at stake. What if one day you woke up and no more OP's? Then what? Obviously it wouldn't happen that quickly, but laws can sure do some damage to our wonderful OP's, and telemedicine. I personally would like to be able to write my congressman and say with confidence that this is a good system, with mostly good people who truly have a need for this treatment option. We're all here because we can't obtain the appropriate treatment for one reason or another (hopefully). I don't want to lose this right, as I'm sure most feel the same way.

If I can help someone find an OP that will prescribe what you need, and you're legitimate (with RECORDS), send me a PM, and I'll happily direct you to a good OP that can supply you with an adequate amount of drugs.
