Medication question...	by OnDemand	2005-03-08 15:20:05
OK I had been taking 30 Mg Aderal daily for ADD. So has my brother and until a month ago my dad. Sometimes when I would run out of meds I sometimes took them out of my brothers bottle (as did he of mine). Considering he took the same dosage of the same medication I did not consider it a problem. Well recently my doctor suggested I switch to 36 mg of Concerta daily, which my father and sister take for ADD. Along with the prescription we were given a "coupon" for a free bottle. I had misplaced the coupon and still haven't found it. In the mean time I have been taking my fathers pills (he knows about it so its ok with him). Which again is the same dosage of the same medication I am prescribed for. Today I got a call from the doctors office to schedule a "medication evaluation" to see how I was doing with the new medication. The conversation went like this.... Secretary: So have you gotten your prescription filled yet? Me: Um.. We lost the coupon you guys gave use so... Secretary: You haven't been taking them? Me: Well, my dad has the same dosage of the same medication so... Secretary: You've been taking his? Me: yeah Secretary: Ok, if you want to come down to the office we can give you a new coupon. Me: Ok Then we went on to schedule the appointment. So my questions are: Is it OK to take someone's medication that is the same dosage of the same medication you are prescribed for with their knowledge and consent? Is this something I could "get in trouble for"? I was hesitant on telling the secretary because I was concerned on how she would react. But she didn't ask me any more questions about it. So I assume it's all right.
