Question 10

can someone get in trouble or caught by keeping too many pain pills than were prescribed.?

Accepted Answer

No: If they are written under your name you should be fine. If you are not needing them, that's great, and I commend you for not taking them when truly not needing them. I would tell your doctor of the excess and maybe they can decrease the quantity and dosing at you next appointment. I would also like to mention that meds can expire and can become ineffective. Best of luck!
