Just tell your doctor exactlly what you told us. Maybe he can give you a prescription for only 9 days before you actually get a new refill. You won't know unless you ask, and you obviously need your meds!

Your going to just have to deal with it. You can tell your doctor but the line "my meds were stolen", or "i lost my meds" those are very common lines we hear in the pharmacy from our "seekers". Your doctor may or may not give you a couple days supply, but both her and the pharmacy you go to will make a note about it, your doctor will tell the pharmacy about you too. You can call your doctor if you NEED the medications but if your fine then you shouldnt have to take them...those are as needed drugs.
It is a biggie! No matter if you know it or not, you're already labeled at any pharmacy you've been to and at your doctors office, even if you go to another pharmacy for the first time...we can tell every where you've been and when you got those drugs.

You do have a problem here the doctor is only allowed to give you a certain amount of medicine he may be able to help with some samples to tide you over but if he thinks that you took them he will not give you anything. There are also methadone clinics that may help with addictions. If that is the case.

Just tell your doctor, let your MD know about the house guest and your worries that the doctor might think your not telling the truth, most doctors are willing to give you the benefit of the doubt the first time.

try asking your doctor if he/she can call in a perscription or give you samples until the prescription can be refilled. Also you might want to think about locking up your meds so this doesn't happen again.

OK....call the doc and tell her you only need NINE pills....that's simple. Or call the pharmacy and explain that you need only enough to get you through till you can refill. No biggie.

tell your doc immediately...you could go thru withdrawals depending on your meds..and that is very dangerous...
