Rob Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Besides just "cutting off" my doc, is it possible to completely blacklist myself from Adderall in the federal database? I don't trust myself (I'm on day #2). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyStupid Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 hi @Rob Glad to hear you've finally started your journey! unfortunately, there isn't really such a thing as a federal blacklist database. assuming you're US based, the closest thing is probably a state level program like PDMP (Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs). you can find more information at the link below. unsurprisingly, our healthcare system isn't so wonderfully integrated and accessible that every healthcare provider knows everything about you. If you're covered by insurance, a substance use disorder diagnosis may cause red flags in their system but that wouldn't necessarily stop a physician from prescribing. it's probably best to accept the fact that access control is and will always be on you. that said, taking some immediate steps like communicating with your current doctor to cut you off will at least make it more difficult to obtain a script. sometimes the additional effort of doctor shopping can be just enough to discourage a relapse. gl and keep us posted!

Rob Posted January 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Yes, the PDMP. That's what I was thinking of. Didn't know it was state-based & not federal. Ya I doctor-shopped a few years back, and it was a nightmare. Then I got caught. Horrible haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
