[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 360412, member: 1233"] I agree that the doctor is not going to stop giving her the prescriptions on the basis of a phone call saying she is abusing them. It is not an ethical thing to do, or a safe one. There are pain clinics that will act this way. It is not safe to be a patient there because stopping some of these medications cold turkey is very dangerous. It can kill you. This is why so many rehab programs have a medical detox if you are on anything other than alcohol. Calling the doctor was a good thing to do, but you cannot expect immediate results. While you ARE her parent and are telling the truth, the situation could be very different. A guest in your home who happens to see a medicine bottle could get the name of your doctor and pharmacy and call to say you are abusing them. There ARE difficult children in this world who would do this as payback or because they think it is funny. Heck, my own bro once said he was going to tell the cops I was driving under the influence because the medications I was taking. He was mad because I told him I did not want him around my child if he had been drinking, not even one beer. The doctor will be keeping an eye on difficult child's chart to see if she is showing the signs of abuse. Drug testing will also happen, most likely. If he doesn't do these things and the DEA finds out they will cause many problems and likely suspend his license or make it provisional. IF they get involved. Would it help if you and husband saw a therapist to discuss the phone calls? You seem to understand some of his point of view, but it could help you each understand the other better. Sending lots of hugs. [/QUOTE]
