Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Prescribed drugs

A few years ago, I had a prescription for a narcotic drug from one doctor. I went to another doctor who gave me a prescription to stop taking the previously mentioned narcotic. These prescriptions overlapped. Was this illegal? Would someone be able to access my medical records purely by stating they believe this happened?

Re: Prescribed drugs

There is no such thing as a prescription to stop taking a drug. What are you talking about?

Apparently you have confused the issues. There is no such item as a prescription to "stop taking" the previously mentioned narcotic. I suggest you correct and repost the question.
