Weekly forged scripts?

Ok here goes, Im going to let my ugly side out for a min. I was in a very similar situation as you, The only difference is I found a script pad and was forging them Oxycodone on my own and then taking them to lots of pharmacies and I too was surprised how well it worked. I never had any problems. They would just see that its a legit script and that I looked normal and didnt act wierd. Well all good things come to an end. I got caught eventually and found out they had been investigating me and a few others that were doing it together for a little while. But we always used fake names and addresses so they couldnt catch on very fast. Now that I got caught, I realized they can use each pharmacy as a separate complaint unfortunately. So far Ive been charged in 2 states by 3 different officers. Im now up to $10,000 in lawyer fees due to it. I got 3 months suspended in Md and 1 year of probabtion and my Pa cases are still up in the air.

Im hoping for probation which is what I received for the first charge but then the second set got filed and that may jeopardize the probabtion. Im still working on that part.

But overall I wish I had never done it because now I have 5 felonies and like 8 misdemeanors pending on my record plus Ill have to do community service and lots of probation requirements including drug tests so of course I cant use within the next year of when my probation starts. But I hope I never have to go back on them period. They have ruined so many parts of my life. One of the worst nights of my life was getting dragged out of my house at 4am in 20 degree weather by cops and throwing me around like Im some hardned criminal. Then spending the next 10 hours locked up in jail with a bunch of dirt bags freezing my butt off with my sleep clothes on and of course no shoes since they take those from you.

Just let it ride out as the damage has already been done and theres nothing you can really do, just please dont fill anymore. The more you do, the worse the punishment. They said they could have got me for distribution as well because of the amounts but since I was cooperative and this was my first time legal offense at 30 yrs old, I guess they didnt take it to the extreme. Sucks either way though. Its not something Im proud of at all but I figured some first hand experience would be nice to hear. Anyway, good luck to you, hopefully you can use my example to make you get over your addiction and stop before you get caught and thrown into the system like me. Keep us updated, I wish the best for you and hope you dont get caught but can stop while you are ahead.

Hey kshortyr,

It's hard for any of us here to predict what the outcome of this situation will be. So much is up to the doctor, as well as the laws in your state and the wisdom of any court. Just know you're not alone - this is where our addiction leads us. We do insane things when we're addicted and needing our drugs. We cross so many lines of "right and wrong" and the mental torture is fierce.

My suggestion, as a person in long-term recovery - who also works with some courts with clients where I work - is to be honest. Completely honest. At this point, it's very likely that everything you've done - every script you've written - can be found, thanks to computerization. No use denying it, as the evidence will be plain as could be. Admit to the addiction, as well, as it may appear to the authorities that you were dealing the drugs.

Believe it or not, this can be a blessing in your life. This can be the turning point, if you choose to heed it. My one night in jail was the last straw for my addiction - it was the final blow that broke past any denial I had remaining.

Your bigger problem is not the courts - it's the addiction. That's what is ruling your life right now - and what you need to concern yourself with. Now is the time to seek out serious help to overcome this nightmare. If at all possible, I would go into in-patient care - the longer, the better. Yes, it will help you with the legal issues - any judge will be influenced by your earnest efforts to address your addiction. But, more importantly, you need to do this for yourself. It is only going to get worse - that's the nature of addiction. It always progresses.

The detox sucks, plain and simple - but it won't kill you. It's like having a tremendous flu for less than a week. If you do it in-patient, they may be able to help with some medication - and - that is a "safety net" where picking up "just one more pill" is less likely. Regardless, in a week, the physical part of your addiction will be behind you. At that point, you must address the other aspects of addiction - the psychological and emotional parts - if you want to be able to stay clean in the long run.

Please keep us posted. You are in my prayers.

God bless,

You should probably go to your employer and confess and tell him you are going to rehab and get your behind there. As others said, it will be much in your favor because they are going to catch you eventually and you should take action before they do. I knew of a person that I worked with that got caught in a similar situation and she was an RN. She voluntarily went into the states "Can-do" program for nurses. Her license was suspended but she didnt lose it. Once she finished and passed the program she got her license back. When you are addicted you do a lot of stupid things because the addiction takes over your common sense and you rationalize things you know are wrong. I really feel for you and I hope you take this wake up call to get some help Come clean with your employer and you may even be able to keep your job after you finish rehab. Most Drs understand addiction and he may be able to help you in the long run. If you dont you will surely lose your job.

If you are a nurse or a medical assistant you can lose your license or certification unless you go to rehab possibly sponsered by your State Board. Good Luck to you and I hope all turns out for the best. Sometimes the best is not what we think it will be in the beginning! Keep us posted!

Eventually you are going to get caught because I had a friend that done the same thing at her workplace and she also worked for a doctor. The pharmacy called the police and escorted her to jail, so please don't do this anymore. I am currently addicted to xanax after taking it for 13 years. And now I have degenerative disc disease and take Lortab and Tramadol for my chronic pain. My addiction is the xanax's cause I've been thru alot in the past 4 years, my boyfriend died of heart attack in dec2006, quit my job, lost my home and can't quit taking xanax... i have tryed to quit cold turkey but i lasted for 3 weeks and ended up with seizures. Then when it was time for my script for xanax's to be filled, guess what... i started taking them all over again and I would take like 10 pills in 1 day 0.5mg per pill. I've wanted to got to rehab, but have no insurance no medical card, nothing!!! So I'm screwed all over again.
