DrugBuyers.Com: Meds "stolen"

Purple, I had a very similar situation not too long ago- only, I have to accept full responsibility for it. I gave my Lorcet and Vicodin to my sister to "hold on to" so I could make it through a "Holiday" because I knew I couldn't do it while the meds were in my house and I trusted my sister since she and her husband broke up. Anyhow, apparently, her new boyfriend is rather fond of MY MEDS(!), though, the story I got when I asked for my pills back was that she had them above her sink and dropped 2 OPEN bottles into a pan of soapy water. What do I get? Nothing in return but an excuse. I doubted her story, but believed I HAD to give her the benefit of the doubt knowing she would never take them herself and I do know that... however, one day a month later (about) she contacts me via email asking for info. on where and how and how much my pills were via the internet. Of course, gut feeling, I asked her to tell me who wanted to know and wouldn't tell her until she confessed it- sure enough, new boyfriend suffers from "vomiting of unknown etiology" and they purportedly prescribe him hydro for it? Ha! Firstly, if nausea is a side effect for vomiting, why the HECK would they prescribe it for vomiting? Anyhow, I didn't confront her because, as in your situation, she lied to me once, I knew she'd take her lie to the grave- no point in it. NOW he wants me to order MY Rx and he'd gladly pay for half if I gave him half, LMAO!!! Sorry, but how cheesy is this story? More and more by the second, huh?

Anyhow, I worked in disability insurance for 5+ years and I believe, from reading multiple medical records, I have your answer, at least I hope. Call your doctor. You don't have to tell him somebody came into your house and suddenly your pills are missing- or you can be very honest and forthcoming and tell him that- but you don't have to give up your brother in law, either. You can tell him so many people were in and out of the house (say it was Thanksgiving) and you have no way to know who took them or when. I only say to go this route because if this is the first time this has happened, you don't routinely call your doctor with some story as to why you need more meds (i.e. you dropped them down the toilet this month- in the cat litter box next month, etc.) before your refill is due, more often than not (and I can honestly say I've never seen a doctor the first time not give the benefit of the doubt and represcribe) your doctor WILL be sympathetic and give you another Rx based on this information. However, if it became habit, or you were constantly calling him before your next refill was due with a story as to why you needed more or they didn't last, they would label you an addict and flat out tell you no more. I personally just sucked it up until my next refill was due, but at the time, I was also trying very hard to only take my pills on the weekends and get rid of a little tolerance. I hope this helps. As for the Dentist- I wouldn't go that route (having gone to school and worked as a Dental Assistant pre-insurance) simply because they're trained to look for "drug-seeking" behavior- specifically if somebody comes in and ASKS for narcotics, they're pretty suspicious that they just want the narcotics. Not to mention, if they take x-rays (and they most likely would if you go in saying you have some horrible pain in your mouth and they can't see it without), they'll see there is nothing wrong and you'll most likely be sent home with tylenol or ibuprofin.

Good luck and do keep us posted!
