nobody has ever asked me to share....but I think it was my post that my mom gave me her old unused meds that got you off on this...I do not usually take unperscribed meds....but those meds mom had would have expired without being used and my supply was down enough that I would run out before my appointment to get a refill script. I took them but she did not share them she gave them away as unwanted meds since she is now on Oxycotin....I do not ask for meds at all...she just heard that I was low and had doc appointment in Dec to make it to before refill and she offered them to me....they are a bit stronger than my own were and I am ok with that level without problems...

Ah Bill, it was actually Keyz topic on people thinking that he was lying and should share that got me on this.

I have ZERO issue with you using a couple of tablets that would have otherwise been disposed of.

I have a problem with people thinking we are dealers for recreational medications!

yeah that is way wrong...of course me being in recovery means I don't hang with peeps like that...LOL

I used to have a stash of over 100 pills. I had a online friend tell me to sell them and get some good money. I was like "no I need those meds!" Then a few weeks later I switched doctors and was cut off of my meds for a while and that hurricane stash helped me through that dark time. I will never give away my meds, I need them! If someone has back pain, then they need to go to the doctor and get their own meds. For the most part, I will keep my meds a secret from everyone by my immediate family. That will eliminate a lot of problem. Tell people you are taking diabetes meds and low cholesterol meds. They don't know what a Norco tab looks like. The nerve of some people to think that we go through all this bullshit just bullshit just to get a small high.

If I ever go back to work, I will put my Norco into a Tylenol bottle and take that from time to time at my desk. They will be like "oh you sure do take a lot of Tylenol" lol. That is a good way to get around opioid dumb people. I doubt that would work around Dr. Gregory house MD though. He would open the bottle, take a long sniff of the contents, remove one Norco tab, lick it, and say "yup it's Vicodin! lol.

my knee hurts tonight....am I glad I got my moms unused meds? yes very....time to take one....hugs

Don't bother, Bill. I flew down to St Louis and grabbed your stash! Ha ha biotch! I'm just messing with you my friend. I'm glad you have pain relief tonight. Hugs.

I only had that happen to me a few times. One of my bf friends knew I was on meds as he has multiple pain issues too. I gave him one pill one time. He kept asking me for more and I finally told him my doc counts my pills every month and I can't afford to be questioned about any discrepancies. That stopped him.

Yes, I have been asked and it really annoys me. I have gotten to the point where I tell them that I no longer get pain pills due to the new strict guidelines. I don't like to lie, but I also don't like being put in that position either. What really angers me is a lady that lives one street over from me in our Mobile Home Park gets pain medication from her doctor, but then her dealer comes by up to 3 times a week so she can buy more from these people. They are the ones that have made it so hard on those of us who depend on pain medication to survive, not to get high.

I've had a FORMER "friend" steal about 30 of my pills out of my freshly opened bottle I had just picked up that morning. She'll still deny it to this day, which is so sad! I had just opened the foil on top of the bottle, took my dose, put the pills in my drawer, went to the bathroom, then we left to the store. I didn't realize they were missing until I went to take my next dose. I was furious! NO ONE else was in my house but her! I called her right away and confronted her. She acted so calm, and dismissed it like I was just completely wrong for accusing her.
From then on I make sure I keep them where no one knows, and don't tell anyone what I'm taking. I have had a couple older friends from school ask what I was taking & I just said "pain meds" because I could tell they were getting around to the point of asking and I would have told them to go f%#k themselves!!

I've never experienced this, but just a suggestion. Remind the person asking that it's illegal. It's just as illegal to transfer the medications as it is to possess them without a prescription. Let's say you gave them to a friend, who got busted with them by the cops, when asked where they got them...if they named you, you'd also get in trouble. Depending on the schedule of the medication you could end up with a felony for a small mistake. It's not worth it in any situation.

I have never spoke of it. I never shared
the pain management contract is quite clear on all of this
Those are the rules.

Peace

Memories.... Yes, many years ago a relative asked for some pain meds I'd been given for post-surgery. I told him, and that was the end of that. Back then he was fond of recreational substances, though I don't know if he ever did much with pain pills. Now he's sort of becoming a name within the medical community, albeit not drug treatment. I hope he doesn't get high/drunk anymore.

I have one person ask me continuously and I finally told her to leave me alone. Bad enough she sells for others but I don't know what all she's up to. I just know I don't talk to her anymore . I don't say anything about my meds to anyone unless they too deal with pain issues but I have been accused of taking stuff at work but I keep them in an advil bottle. I dislike the people who have issues but they screwed up so badly they now can't get the meds they need. It's not our fault and we don't owe them ..
