I had 14yrs in LE until injured and medically retired (fractured back and mangled knee) in CA last year. I have worked with DEA, Customs, local narcs, and state DOJ on various taskforces. The main issue is did a person use fraud to obtain any of the scripts. I have had four scripts at the same pharm for hydro related drugs from 3 docs; vicoprofen, Tussionex, norco, and vicodin. Each was for a different injury/illness and it was not an issue. I know of no "doctor shopping" law in CA. If a person wants three or even five opinions from different docs, no problem. The problem is that there are a couple of people out there that don't have real injuries/pain like us. those people go to five doctors, they don't tell the docs about the other docs, and they take drugs from all five. That would constitute fraud to obtain a script which is a felony in CA and most states.

I have made hundreds of arrests, 30% or more for drugs, and only a handful involved scripts. Of the scripts 90% were DUI or possessing someone else's script. The other 10% were forged scripts, stolen samples, and using scripts with illegal drugs.

Just be honest with your docs. Keep your own medical record with dates, name of docs, meds given, and effect of meds. Add every new doc immediately and give it to the new doc on the first visit. That way if you are ever questioned about why you went to so many docs you have a record showing that every doc you saw did not do anything for you and that each doc should have known about the other.

A bit much for my first post, hope it helps!
