I am addicted to opiates. I have been seeing different doctors. One doctor from a different clinic and a few doctors from the same clinic. I have been getting endone and OxyContin from one and oxynorm and OxyContin from the other. One of the clinics I have seen probably 4 different doctors just because it is so hard to get in to see my original doctor. I just went to the clinic that I just see the one doctor and he said he got a letter from Medicare saying I have been identified under the prescription shopping programme. It had what medications I have been getting and the number of doctors. He asked me if I had been seeing a different doctor and I lied and I said no I havnt seen anyone else but him. He asked if someone would be using my Medicare card and I said that I misplaced it a few months ago so maybe someone could be. I said I would contact Medicare and get to the bottom of it because there was no way this could be right. He gave me a weeks worth of medication and told me to ring Medicare to sort it out. I have no idea what I am going to do. If he got the letter then the other clinic would have got the letter also. At least I can say that I have been seeing a few of the other doctors there but there is different opiates prescribed so that makes it hard. Can anyone offer me any advice?? I really want to stay with the doctors from the clinic that I see a few different doctors at because I get prescribed a larger amount of opioids from there. If I get cut off by both of them I am screwed. I will go into withdrawal and be sick over Christmas and I need them for my chronic back, leg and coccyx pain. I am so scared. Has this happened to anyone else and how did you get out of it?? Desperate for help please!!!!
