If I give them back the leftover oxy from what they sent home with me, would that help in getting any potential “drug seeker” notes removed?
I don’t even get how I’d abuse the stuff. It just makes me sleepy. Like - marijuana is fun because it makes food taste good and helps me think more creatively. Opioids take away intense pain just enough for me to sleep it off. I ended up throwing away most of a bottle of Percocet after I got my top surgery because I’d rather have a little breakthrough pain on Tylenol and be cogent than sleep 18 hours a day.
In case you don’t see it below, you can request the “drug seeking” be removed from your chart. For a long time knowing the names of specific prescriptions meant you were drug seeking.
So if you had ADHD but weren’t diagnosed, like lots of folks but were somehow smart enough to accommodate your disability and then told your doctor you’d be interested in trying Adderall then they would mark you down as drug seeking instead of helping you.

There’s no note, everyone is a “Potential Drug Seeker”, no exceptions.

Except “drug seeking behavior” is a specific kind of note that can be in your chart. You can actually have this removed from your chart if you ask a provider to do so and they are so inclined. I have a drug therapist friend who removes it from everyone’s chart because it’s bullshit.
