Hi there. I have a question re safescript. I’m a chronic pain patient and always light up red whenever my doctor checks the safescript website. This might be because I’ve seen other doctors in the past at the same clinic and didn’t know what the “rules” are around that. Likewise I’ve been flagged by a pharmacy as I normally go to a particular one but this time I was near a different one and didn’t know I should stick to the one pharmacy.
So, is there someone that can explain how safescipt works? How do I stop being red listed? My doc still gives me my script but I worry what happens if he’s away or in holiday. I have also asked whether there is a permit I should have and he fobs me off saying there is no permit and if there is, it’s pointless. But again, it would go a long way to making me feel like I’m not drug seeking as you don’t get treated very well at some places when it looks like you’re doctor shopping, even if it was a while ago and always at the same clinic.
I wish I had an outside “source” to help when I’m in pain and I’ve run out before I can get another script but I don’t have any such contacts for opioids so my best bet is trying to understand how safe script and being flagged/ not flagged works as well as whether there is such a thing as a permit which would then sit with me rather than the prescribing doctor and if so, how is it obtained.
Just for more info, I’m also under the care of a pain clinic which endorses the current opioid treatment.
Thank you!
