What Will a Doctor Do When Notified of a Patients Prescription and Other Drug Abuse?

Question by k f: What will a doctor do when notified of a patients prescription and other drug abuse?
My sister is heavily addicted to her prescription drugs (fentanyl patch, xanax, and other assorted pain pills) along with bathsalts and meth. I called her doctor and informed them of her addiction because I am worried about the drugs interacting with each other. Does the doctor have to stop prescribing that stuff once informed of a problem or did I waste my breath informing them?

Do You Think My Friend Is Being Abused?

Question by Kate: Do you think my friend is being abused?
My friend and I used to be close, about 10 years ago, when we were in our thirties. We were pertually single. She drifted from relationship to relationship, but nothing long term.

Then, in her late 30s, she met Clyde. He was already married, but seperated from his wife. He had already been married twice before, had been a serious drug addict, both his exes had accused him of abuse … he seemed like bad news. But my friend loved him. My friend is smart and from a good family. She saw something in him, and he took her on vacations and sent her flowers all the time, and seemed to treat her very well.

some surrounding towns i can travel to , franklin pa , erie pa, oil city pa , . i have tried everything and have no options left . please help , there are so many chronic pain suffers , no one listens , the first thing everyone thinks is drug addict , that isnt always the case ! most of us are legit and have no help anywhere
Thank-You Sparky ! Here are the reasons i am on pain meds, i take vicodin e.s. 2x daily , ultram 50 mg 4x daily for the following reasons .
I have had 3 Ulna nerve transports , Ulna bone shortening 4 x – i have a plate with 6 screws in my left wrist and hand , i also have osteo arthritis and fybria myalgia , i have been on the pain meds now for well over 12 years they just dont work any longer, i got a referral for methadone treatment from a dr , but he wont prescribe it to me he says in the state of pa , only certain dr’s are able to do this for pain management. I also have a mortons neruoma condition and the miniscus is also bad , since i will not agree to more surgery it seems the dr’s wont help me anymore, after 13 surgerys i feel its time for a break 😉 thank you for your help . I really need to find a caring dr who would understand my condition all proven by med records ! I just cannot seem to find anyone who will help,
