I live in South Carolina. I recently went to a new physician who wrote me a script for a controlled substance that has been prescribed to me for years. I did not realize that my old physician had also written a script the last time I visited and that script was left in my sister's car. Apparently, she went to a drug store, one I use, and submitted the script to be filled. Low and behold, I had already had the new script filled. Pharmarcy calls the old doctor and says that I have gotten the same script from another physician. I will deal with my sister accordingly and I am not in trouble with the law. Is the pharmacist obligated to call my new physician? I have never been in trouble before and even though I was not totally responsible, I would say this story is a "crock". I have waited 3 weeks past the time that a renewal would be do but now am feeling bad withdrawls. I have not heard from the new doctor but don't want any surprises when I go for my visit. Please advise.
