Laws Regarding Medications And Wether You Need To Give Them?
(Newest replies first)

I am on 30mg morphine 2x daily and 4mg dilaudid 4xdaily. I am being treated for breast cacer and severe back problems. 4mg dilaudid is not working anymore, so i was going to talk to my pain dr about higher dose of dilaudid. I am a server in restaurant and on my days i do doubles i have the worst pain, the next day i am laid up in bed. My question is, i pick up my prescription on Monday but will see the dr on Thursday. If he changes it, do i give the meds i get monday back?

She may (or may not) have been referring to the doctor. Several years ago I had just this situation-I had just filled-a couple of days earlier-an RX for Vicodin.She switched me from a high-dose Vicodin to a low-dose Morphine Sulphate-but did *indeed require that I hand over the Vicodin RX. I thought it wasn't right, but also completely understood as there are many who would use it recreationally or sell it. I don't abuse my pain meds in any way, for the record. I need them. She counted the pills sling with me to make sure I had the number I should since I had just filled it-then destroyed them in front of me, I suppose thus proving that no one else there would have hold of them either. This post is a couple of months old already- so you have your answer- but thought I'd respond for anyone reading as I am today. (Stumbled on post looking for an answer-2 of my morphine Sulphate got wet when a partial bottle of water spilled on them. They are not time-release (ER) so should be fine, apparently, with perhaps only a small amount of the med lost when they puffed up.

Thank you for the site - it's been helpful.

No absolutely not please hold on to your money until you actually see the doctor once a transaction is finalized at the pharmacy there are no refunds for any reason. These are the federally regulated laws in place for everyone's safety.
