Title: What would you do.........
Post by cootie on Jan 14th, 2004, 1:48am
What would you do if somone stole all your pain meds ? It happen'd to me and I just realized it......I'm so freaked out rite now I don't know what to do......it's pain meds for my back I don't abuse and only take 3 to 4 times a week to get by. A freind of many years brought his girlfriend over Sunday and I'd showed her sum worming med I use on the dogs cuz they have one of my pups now about 6 months old. She's someone of a looser.....but..I trusted her. I had my pain meds stashed in my dog med cabnet and glanced in the cabnet and seen them in the corner and ran to the other room for a minute not thinking she'd steal anything or even know what they were esp since they were hidden. When I came back she was standing by the cabnet with her coat and thought that was odd......I jus noticed there gone......I had about 80 stashed cuz when I get flareups I need them BADLY. I'm so hurt and so upset anyone would do that.....no doubt she took them either. Hopein I can get my refill soon.....but it doesn't make what she did feel any better......takein someone pain meds that needs them is a crime to me......the lowest.......what would you do Pam

I'm so upset rite now I jus gotta git a grip......hadn't touched em since Sat. but there were in there Sunday before them people left.........................FUCK me !!!

She's stayin with him and he's at his mom's I guess. She musta seen the meds label and zoned in on what her plan was and why she went to get her coat and continue to stand around my cabnet even tho it was at the opposite end of the room where the guys were. I can see what her plan was now. Fuckin bitch...........this is the lowest ever !!!! Pam that is very destraut rite now

Pam, that's terrible!

. Do check things like credit cards and money and stuff, that may have been lying around.

Forget getting the pills  back. She has either eaten them, stashed them  or peddled them.  An addict is an addict...
The only thing you can do is tell the man in question. He won't believe it, for addicts can be very plausible. But it may give him an extra signal that she is not somebody to be around.

Hope you can get your prescription filled real soon.

Oh Coots

How awful! There is something so bad about having someone in your house who then abuses you.

I think the others are right and that you won't get them back, so focus first on getting some more.

On a personal level, I would want to make sure she knew I knew. I would ring her and say that you are sorry she has such a problem that she has to steal drugs, and say that you hope she gets the help she needs soon.
I would also tell the boyfriend only that he is welcome at your house but she isn't. If he inevitably wants to know why, say that she obviously has serious problems and ask him if he is aware of them.
If he isn't it depends how good a friend he is how you react. If he is a really good friend, I would just say that you are 100% convinced that he has either a drug or a money problem and that he should try and talk to her.

That way you may not lose him as friend, which you surely will if you confront this head on and he loves her.

Just my two pennysworth

Coots, I'm sorry he has got mixed up with such a low-life and hope his rose tinted spectacles fall off soon.

What a bitch!

This is grounds for murder!

Phone your friend to get her to return them or you will report it to the police. It is a very real big crime - stealing.

Ave is right.  They're gone and she will lie in a very practiced way about it.  Your needs are of no concern to her.  Terrible for you but hang in for now and do not let her in the house again.

Pam, take that puppy back from them.  People like that don't deserve a puppy!  Then use the worm meds on her!!!

Pam, sorry to hear about whats going on, losing trust (even with someone you don't know) is such a hard thing to deal with... >:(

on another note, I use pain meds for my neck, and I had my purse stolen with 60 of them in my purse!  I just went into my doctor told him the deal and he didn't have a problem refilling them...give it a try!  Good luck!

Thanks guys........man I am so depressed..........never had anyone do that to me before and so sneaky and rite under my nose !!!! It jus knocked me into a big state of depression. Um.........Brad is goin to go talk to the dude........he's almost like a father tho this guy......which is anuther reason it hurt even worse cuz now we gotta stir up sum shit rite when this guys life is goin half way decent rite now and it's been really rockey. Got a feelin he will knock the shit outa this chick if he thinks she is lieing tho (not Brad.........even tho he wants to).......she's the lowest life on earth I know doin this to me. I'm tryin to get a new script if I can get one refilled this soon to have on hand.......esp now since my back is flarein up bad I need them the most for a session at least then back off a while as I always do. GAWD am I depressed I trusted her.........Pam that's not a druggie but sure needs help at times

Post by Jimmy_B on Jan 14th, 2004, 10:35am
What a Bitch >:(. That girl...not the situation.

Coots...I also take pain meds & I "lost" mine some time ago...Do yourself a favor. If you've used the same Doctor for a while & you never call meds in early...explain to the Doctor what happened. More then likely he'll/she'll give you another script. Probably with a lecture on how you should keep them locked up. & stay away from that Bitch....

If you have to call the police to get your script refilled...Do it. This person obviously needs help

>:( >:( >:(I get real pissed when addicts screw people in pain like this. I take it to stop the agony of a previously broken neck & someone steals my drugs to get high for an hour or two..... >:( >:( >:( >:(

Hang in there Pam!

Get a new script and follow Pubgirl's advice...she's right on the money.  Honestly..do you really care if he beats the shit out of her.  Sounds to me like she deserved it.  I don't condone violence..but this is too much.

Get the puppy back.  If she has drug problems, how can she take care of a dog properly?  What a life for that poor innocent pup!

hugs
Ann

Pam,
Sweetie I hate to see you so upset, I know its hard to understand how in heck anyone would take something that didnt belong to them.  You have them into your home and they are low enough to do that.

Yep confront her for sure.  I'm sending you a big fat hug.

Cindra that thinks the world of Pam:)

Post by don on Jan 14th, 2004, 11:04am
I would make it plain to her that she is no longer welcome in my house, explain why without directly accusing her then go to K Mart and buy one of those heavy duty lock boxes for your meds.

Been in the same situation only it was a family member that did it. Made it a little more complicated.

Awwww, coots....  >:(

What would I do? call her probation officer.... I assume she has one?!

If your copay/cost is high, file a report with the police, then with your home insurance (it covers theft)....

Wish I could do more to help than just listen......!

love ya,

I am so sorry Pam, that is a really shitty thing to do. Where I come from we would just beat the shit out of them....bad. Children need to be taught a lesson. Fucking junkies will not only steal your shit, a good one will help you look for it too.

Tell you Doc what happened and maybe he will help with some refills, but my experience is people like this thief have ruined this because the Pharmacist all think we are "drug seeking".

Kick her ass!

Thanks for all the help guys.....man talk aobut upset...holy crap I been shakein and all that jazz. Have visualized myself runnin into this bitch and floggin the shit outa her and not stoppin till sum fat lady starts singin or I run outa energy. Way my back is I'd prolly get sum good punches in then start to wobble and fall on her. Course if any of my freinds are around I got a feelin they'd finish her off includein her ole man. Her ole man WILL BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HER.....he's been goin to anger management and doin so well I am very upset it mite set him off and ruin his family as it is rite now. Course who needs a girlfriend like that !!?? Known the guy for 20 yrs......I'm sure he'll get to the bottom of it for us and am jus HOPEIN he at least finds sum evidence so HE can dump her ass and send her back to the trailer park. She has two little kids tho...he has 3 !! Hell with the meds......yeah it's lower then low to steal pain meds from sumone who needs em let alon a best freind of yer boyfriend that has been nothin but nice to ya. Gave em the pup fer half price about 4 months ago and did extra stuff for em with it far as shots and wormings. Really hurts deep this happend.....am concern'd about her havien the bottle the meds are in WITH MY NAME ON THEM and my docs name and pharmacey. I took ya'lls advice and talked to the nurse today and they called in a new script...needed a new one stronger anyhow. Talked to the pharamacy and they have what happen'd on record 'in case' she gets greedy and tries to refill it even tho you can't get refills on this med. Brad is waiting to talk to the guy and 'TAKE IT FROM THERE' !!! Yup got the lecture bout lockin shit up too from the nurse.....it was in a private cabnet but jus happen to have it open to get clippers to trim the pups nails the 'THEIF' brought with her and gave her som more worming med and she musta spotted my meds in the corner sorta hidden. Druggies got "sonar" on meds I keep forgettin.......but she tool em rite under our noses !!! Thought it was odd she only wanted to stand in front of the cabnet after she had looked in when I grabbed some stuff.......and then go get her coat to hold over her like she was cold and ask for a pop....then want to leave after that ! Don't trust people.........I always trust everyone Pam

Thanks again guys....jus bein able to be here and WHINE while I typed cryin my head off with a horrible back ache to you guys helped me get thru this. Thanks for the email last nite Linda H.......sorry I rambled......but you all did help me alot. Things like this hit me way too deep................that's jus me !!!!!  Sorry this got toooooo long !!!!!!!! Thnaks again !

Title: Re: What would you do.........
Post by don on Jan 14th, 2004, 4:41pm
Sounds like you covered the basis. Notified the boyfriend, got your script filled, and notified the pharmacy. Not much else you can do except take a pain med, turn on Oprah, put your feet in some furry slippers, and let the addict live with her conscience if she is ever fortunate enough to get one back.

Glad to see you took action and even happier that you came to vent with us.

Hoping you get it all taken care of, and that your friend sees the scum for what she really is soon.

We had that very thing happen here.  Sean was in school with this kid and his mom was a supposed "x-addict" She always called about meds because she knew Dave had Clusters, and occasionally would ask him what he had that would kill her headaches.  One time she was in my bathroom for a really long time and we had a bottle of demerol in there from my C-Section.  We,~~~ like you, didnt use them or abuse them but kept them just incase... I went to get one when I had my kidney stones and they were gone.  We knew it was her and she owned up to it recently.
 I stopped keeping my meds in the bathroom because of it and I trust no one with my medication.  I have to keep them under a cabinet lock because of my daycare kids so my medication is always right where I know it is safe all the time.  Sorry this happened to you... love to you ree

Unfortunetly we can't get ahold of the 'boyfreind'.....Brad called his folks twice now and his dad jus said 'he's not around rite now'......hmmmmm......wonder what that meant ? He has a small apt sumwhere but has never really said where and was back and forth between jobs in Florida and Ohio this past summer and fall. So am figurein him and his 'aka' girlfreind druggie thief bitch are reekin the harvest of her new FIND at home......am sure he'd party with her on em NOT knowin where they came from off and on. No tell where she told him she got em if he even knows.....so not gettin to talk to him aobut it is buggin me....was hopein he'd find em on her and go from there. Hate to break up his happy family.....am sure it will cause sum shit.......but it bugs me most she has gotten away with it and doubt she has any regrets. It's not as if we weren't goin to see them again.....she'll act as if nothin is wrong I'm sure. I'm goin to fill my other spare (empty) bottle with ex-lax next time they come and purposely leave them out in the open Pam

Jus think folks........what if it'd of been yer trex !???? What if'd been Brad's !!!! Be one less bitch in this town if she did that.............(I am still havein bad toughts about what I wish I could do to her with nice visuals to get me by) Sum people NEED a lill pain in there life. Keep yer meds locked up guys..................................

PS: She's not welcome here or near here...........I had a BAD feelin soon as I first met her fer sum reason........instincts rule !!! Sorry I'm still ramblin too.....

There was a lady where I work going around taking pain pills out of people's purses one time..

She got in my purse and took MY pills... only thing is.. they were chemotherapy pills... in a lortab bottle.  

The person we suspected it was - called in sick for the next three days, and when she came back.... was fired.
The had her getting into my purse and two others on video.   Too bad she got sick.....  ;;D  

But, seriously, she could have died.   It's a shame that people get that way.

Aw Pam that sucks so bad!  I would def report it to the police and your doc!  My mom had pills stolen outta her bathroom when I was younger (she had a bad kidney and lotsa stones and pain) I don't remember what she did about it (Iwas a kid) but I do remember her being very upset.  I myself had a prescription stolen out of my car a few years ago......to this day I don't know who did it but I highly suspect my bro in law (a drug abuser)

Title: Re: What would you do.........
Post by taraann on Jan 16th, 2004, 5:41am
Just talking to Sam and he was reminding me of the time we had prescriptions stolen out of our car.  He called thepolice to inform them, then callled all the pharmacies in our area to alert them so no one besides us could fill OUR prescriptions there.  You def need to let the doc and your pharmacy know so you wont have a hard time getting refill cause someone else might get them b4 you!  Goodluck Pam, let us know how u make out!

Post by cootie on Jan 16th, 2004, 2:09pm
Hey guys....sorry to keep this boreing thread going but here's the latest.....and suma ya mite learn sumthin from this (don't trust anyone lesson). I talked to the friend who's girlfreind took the stuff. He was devastaded of course and mentiond she had a drug problem but was tryin to clean her up. (sumhow I knew that anyhow) She said she didn't do it.......how predictable....but he told her we had a video camera in the rec room cuz of havein my dog kennel out of there and we had her on tape. So guess she thought about it and "fessed" up.....of course she said there were only about 25 pills in the bottle she took and she has been takeing 4 a day (what was she gonna do when they ran out.come back for a refill ?).....there was at least 100 in it once I got to thinkin back about it. So she gae him back 14 and said that's all there was.....so she is tellin the truth with a LIE.......what a keeper ! So the freind jus came over and was so upset and appologized minus the new girlfreind cuz I told him I do NOT want her back here again EVER. Her entire family is druggies......she' s one apple not fallin far from the tree. So even tho she has confessed and there life is now topsy turvey cuz of it he knows she has a LOT more of em stashed all over that house. She used to be addicted to em.....so she's rite at home now......ya jus can't save em all ya know. He's got a tough disision ahead cuz I'm not sure she wants to change. Poor guy was hopein this chick 'was the one' and so happy not to be alone anymore.....boy what a handful he stumbled onto ech ? Thanks fer all the support on this.....appriciate it a bunch.......Hang em high Pam

Happened to me more than a couple of times with the junkheads that hang around the studio. I was quite clever when I made my Tramadol more easily taken... hehehe - joke was on the fucker who took those. If you don't eat beforehand, you WILL get deathly sick.

Some people are just mean and fucked up. They take what you take to stay well just for thier amuzement.

Carl D

P.s. - When I am here with my meds, they stay in my pocket!
