Hello Tinarenee,
I believe you. I'm not so sure I believe
your doctor.
Too possibilities. As you said, someone
is using your name (identity theft). The
next possibility I hope isn't true in your
case, but it happened in our area. A
doctor who I went to and who performed
surgery on me, a few years later was
sentenced in court for writing
"additional" prescriptions for others and
using them as a means to supply his own
drug habit. I don't know the details,
however, I hope you get the drift.
I hesitate to say this, but being we are
dealing with narcotics, there may be a
point where you will need to seek the
advice of an attorney. I would highly
recommend that you keep every piece of
paper and bottle of the prescriptions that
you personnally had filled. Perhaps get a
record from your pharmacy. You would have
had to sign something at the pharmacy
because you were getting a narcotic
medicine. Make sure your signitures that
you see are in fact YOURS.
