[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 352217, member: 1157"] I think calling the GP can't hurt. When Oldest was doctor shopping for pain pills, I called a couple of her doctors. I told them I knew they couldn't give me information because of confidentiality reasons, but that I could give THEM information.... and so they got an earful (or their nurse did, in at least one case). In each case they thanked me profusely. Whether they stopped prescribing or did anything, I'll never know, but I felt better having made those calls and at least alerting them to the situation. I was beyond frustrated with one doctor in particular who just kept writing and refilling rx's for hydrocodone. I think you're on the right track with the intervention; I hope her husband will be on board. [/QUOTE]
