Yes doctors can check and most of the time if your a high risk patient or a new patient they will check the first couple of times. I had a doctor tell me that he will check on my meds every month just to make sure. In my state NC they have a monitoring program that all a doctor or nurse has to do is type in my name and boom there is my complete history of scheduled drugs that I have had filled. Also the police can look at what scheduled drugs you have had filled to. I really think this part is complete bullshit because what about hippa laws they should have to have a warrant or something don't you think? I had a kind of friend that was a narco detective and I was getting about 4 different kinds of c2's and c3's and he came to the house one day and wanted to know why I was on such powerful drugs. He said he was just concerned about my well being and he wanted to make sure I was not abusing them like so many were doing in my town. I told him my problems and he understood, he told me not to be selling them or anything and laughed. Just do what you should and everything should be fine.

Benzos Do doctors ever call a pharmacy to make sure you are filling your prescriptions?
- Thread starter bob123
- Start date
I'm also wondering what happens if the anti depressant does not get filled this month and then when this person sees the doctor again next month to get more benzos he will also send another electronic prescription for more anti depressants. Will the pharmacy get suspicious and call the doctor and tell them that that person is not picking up the anti depressants and only filling the benzos?
I always wondered if they did with suboxone if u miss days or sumthibg I've done that a few tines and nothings happened but I've always had a worry if I miss a day then they will call my doc but I figure its unlikely I have a pretty good stockpile of sub's so I never worry about running out or if I go away I always know I'll have enough but a couple times I forget about my pick up day and never realised till the next day or two
KY has this shit too, they call it the KASPER reports...(KY all schedule prescription something something)...back in 2012 they amped up new painkiller laws for doctors to combat a mostly oxycodone problem...Now, everyone that used to abuse weak percocets and vics, had no choice but to switch to the big H, as painkillers suddenly became a bitch to find.
The state is now realizing their mistake, at least back then people were abusing something made in a controlled enviroments, but now all the old pillheads are now junkies, and heroin use around here has jumped 650%!! They call it an epidemic around here, but even if they revoked the painkiller law, it is too late now, damage has already been done.
I mean..what did they think..if someone could not get percs or vics anymore, they would just give up and quit? LOL Of course not, they are going to go get what everyone has, which is Heroin..DUH, lawmakers havent a clue about users!

Usually only if they suspected you of something. Other than that not really as far as I know, especially not for ssri's lol. Opiates are a different story thoug.
I get methadone each month, and my pain doctors office does not check with the pharmacy at all, in fact, the doctors office frequently make mistakes on the script allowing me to fill them early, (putting wrong fill date on them)they dont even catch this when the script comes back to the office either, this amazed me, but I guess they are too busy to deal with small details like that.
Not here, my doctor wouldn't even know which pharmacy I use. I sometimes go to another pharmacy and the two different pharmacies don't even know what I've received from the other. There might be a database for some of the more controlled meds, I've never really had to deal with any of that before.
I get my meds through the VA and my Doc knows every script I use and if I'm using it. Just got bitched for not ordering Naltrexone for 3 months....my fuk up, shoulda been ordering it and not taking it .....lol. He asked if I was using opiates again and I did tell him the truth that I was, just not often. But I said it was fucking up my drinking so I quit taking it. He wasn't even pissed. Just cancelled the script.
You are lucky, here in KY ALL pharmacies are linked together and they know everything you have filled, everywhere, going back many years...it sucks...I was given a stern warning by a pharmacy once, I had a tooth pulled at a time when I was out of my meds and thought it would be a way to get something, this was before I had a source for street drugs, but got the tooth pulled, and they wrote me a script for lortab 10, went right to the pharmacy thinking I would soon get some relief from the w/ds only to have the pharmacist tell me they could not fill it and telling me I should still have 2 weeks of oxycodone left, she warned me this was a violation of our KASPER laws (KY all schedule prescription something something, state database for narcotics), but that is all she did, did not contact the doctor that was giving me the oxy, she didnt give the script back either...I was PISSED!

Look into filling both scripts, then not taking the SSRI .
Atm, I'm pissed at my general practice dr's shirade. They got all worked up about a UA I dropped dirty for pot, that I didn't even know I was gonna get tested for or I could have avoided the situation.
I got some UA's done that weren't for drugs at all... dr just checking why I was passing proteins or something in my routine physical's UA (didn't drug test me then either I believe, would have failed it , been an immediate reaction etc...)
All of a sudden I'm getting the refer madness treatment about pot, dr trying tell me people died from just pot, od on pot, in WA/CO since legalizing it. WOW.
So that lead to me being suddenly being cut off of my k-pins with a crap taper of 10 little .5's to taper while start BUSPAR.... I refuse to take the buspar, but fill it just in case they check.
My suboxone dr is all over my pharmacy activity however. The nurses and drs/pa's get all nosey about my klonopin and why I have two pharmacies seperately for each dr. (Which is only due to sub pricing). I nearly was threatened bout them finding the k-pins at another pharmacy, said I could be accused of dr shopping the my second visit. They even knew the first visit because they asked and I was honest about my current scripts from all other places. So it was stupid, BUT since it was a script I was allowed to go on. They ask every visit about the k-pin and why I take it.... don't say much else. Never any issue with pot here either tho, only dr warning of coke laced weed going around, haha.
So I would say they do check if they want, depends on dr/office and situation. In reponse to thread topic anyways.

There's pros and cons to both. I've had issues when one pharmacy can't get my meds in on time. There was a 2nd I preferred to use, but it's hours were different and I was stuck sitting waiting for the one to call around to 10 others before they found one who could refill my prescription. I also always have to bring up any meds from the others if I want my pharmacy to catch any possible negative interactions.
