I AM a legit pain patient. The way I discovered this was by accident.
The doc I had been seeing retired and my isnurance changed so I needed a new one. I went through my new PPO and found a GP accepting new patients and I went.
During my consultation with him, I told him that my old doc had retired and that Ineeded meds filled. I gave him first the names of my blood pressure and cholesterol meds. Then, I told him I had suffered from severe sciatica for many years and that I was taking Ultram on a regular basis with Oxy for breakthrough.
He never blinked and prescribed 240 Ultram (a months' supply going by the "two every six hour" schedule; and then he wrote out an RX for 60 20 gm oxies.
Of course, now I've changed jobs and have to wait three months for the new insurance to kick in.
Anyway, thought I'd pass that one. Also, he never asked to get the old records; though I did give him my MRI report.
Sorry to doublepost. But two other things. If your own doc is one of the typically "no one's in constant pain" types, a friend of mine went to a new doc, told him she was moving from out of town and was looking for a new doc. She told him what she was currently one, showed him the bottles, and he wrote it out for her with no problem.
Since most docs refuse to rely on another docs records, they don't ask for them. This is the truth, kids. After my doc wrote me my oxy, he did ask me to take another MRI, which I did. I got the 60 oxies from him for two years straight.
Also, because I needed breakthrough meds, I ordered contugesic from an IOP. It is time released and is pretty much the same. Never had a problem except once thepackage simply never arrived.
