DrugBuyers.Com: Double-Dipping Clarification Please

Double dipping is a variation on Doctor Shopping, which is when a patient consults multiple doctors for the same problem, hoping that each of them will prescribe medication. This is illegal, and lots of people go to jail for this..

Double Dipping, as it is usually referred to here on the boards, means that you are doing consults for the same (or similar) medications from more than one OP at the same time. Those who do this run the risk that they may be ordering from two OP's that share ownership in some way, or two OPs that use the same Pharmacy to fill scripts, or two OPs that use the same consulting doctor. Any of these circumstances could result in the Pharmacy refusing to fill the scripts, and blacklisting the patient from future business.

When you say you are ordering anxiety medication frequently in Florida, I guess you mean from different OPs? If they are writing scripts, and you are getting them filled, then you don't have a legal problem.

And unlike Doctor Shopping, which is frequently prosecuted, I have never heard of anyone being charged with a crime for ordering too many meds online, or for ordering too frequently.

But watch out! Why do you need so much anxiety medication? If you're taking Xanax or any other benzo class med, you must know they are HIGHLY ADDICTIVE and very difficult and dangerous to kick. Unlike opiate withdrawl, (which is horrible to endure but is never life threatening) if you run out of benzo meds you could have a fatal seizure.

If you are taking so many pills that you're worried about the legal consequences, then you should think about cutting down. IMO.
