[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been on daily opiates for about five years, and have never taken more than the prescribed amount/usually take less.  I was so scared to start taking opiates because of all the 'it only takes one time!!' etc scare tactics, but all it does for me is keep my pain to a dull roar so I can work, take care of my family, and sleep a few hours a night.  It is frustrating to have to refill my rx's exactly the same day every month and having to go to the dr so often because of controlled substance laws.

The current research shows that people with happy, stable lives are less prone to addiction than people with undiagnosed mental health issues (lots of people self-Medicare), unstable family life, etc. [/quote]

If you usually take less, then why do you have to refill your medication on exactly the same day everyday?[/quote]

Not the PP, but trying to fill early is likely to flag you as risky. Picking them up too late may mean you aren't prescribed as many anymore. Controlled substances are tightly controlled. I've been on a different controlled substance for years and the restrictions are a hassle. I can't pick up my RX a few days early because will be out of town. I travel a lot. The pharmacy will make you come back in 2 days if it isn't time, even if you're there already picking up other medications. If you have several children and a job, stopping by the pharmacy twice in a week is difficult.

I would suggest to the first quoted PP above that she look into a mail-order pharmacy. I can get my RX delivered within a day of when I need it. [/quote]
