My wife has had cronic pain and has been on narcitic pain killers for 3 years.She recently went to a Dr. appointment for our daughter at a diiferent dr. than hers. My daughters dr. noticed that my wife was very tired as she had not been sleeping very well at all. He asked about how she was sleeping and ended up prescribing what turned out to be generic valume. My wife was not going to fill the script but I saw it on the kitchen table and thought I was doing her a favor by getting it filled for her.
Long story short when I filled it the pharmacy called her dr. ( the dr. that she has been going to for years and treats her pain and anxiety and PTSD). Her Dr. considered it a breach of contract that she got a narcotic from another dr. so she has dropped her as a patient. WE have 30 days to find my wife a new Dr. and it's all my fault. Please if you have been in the same situation What did you do?

First, valium is not a narcotic; it is a benzodiazepine. If that doctor dropped her because she filled a prescription from another doctor, that doctor would have no remaining patients. So many people fill scripts from multiple doctors. I don't know what was the agreement, but I have never heard of this happening before.

you should call her doctor and tell him she wasnt going to fill it at first.you were for her.let him know she have not gone to other doctors.and that you would really like to keep him as a doctor.
