So a few days ago I dropped off a prescription to CVS for 4 tablets of Suboxone Tablets for a 4 day supply. Me and my mom went to go pick it up yesterday right before the pharmacy closed. My mom was waiting in the car while i went inside and purchased the prescription. My doctor had specifically told my mom to hold and control the medication so I wouldn't abuse (which I was completely fine with). So I handed her the prescription (bottle in the bag unopened, so I didnt see). My mom has no idea how much suboxone tablets I was to receive. So she didn't think anything of it when there was actually 6x more than supposed to.
I myself realized just a few moments ago that there was 25 tablets instead of 4! Not only that but the on the label of the bottle is says "Deleted RX#", "RETURN TO STOCK VIAL", and of course the Prescription name and mg. I would of course prefer to keep these, so i can save some money from going to the doctor. But what should I do? Do I have to bring them back? Will I get in trouble if I dont say anything? Will the pharmacist get fired because of this?
*EDIT/UPDATE: I was able to read the label underneath using a flashlight to see through the top label. Apparently the prescription was meant for someone else. This prescription was originally filled 2 months ago and was deleted or "Returned to Stock Vial (RTS) the day after it was filled." So what does this change for my situation?
