wow thats very suprising that u had any left over!.!.!.oxycodone is usually filled by the pharmacist since its a C2 drug!. and double counted for accuracy!. so how u ended up with 10 more is bizzarre!.

First, I don't think there is any possibility of you getting in trouble!. If there was a mistake, the pharmacy made it!. Second, you probably have only one refill, and I would be tempted simply to fill it and say nothing!. The only danger you face is the very slight possibility of an addiction (and I mean really, really, really, slight!. Only a tiny percent of people who take pain killers actually have a problem with them, but we hear about those cases because they're sensational)!. As long as you are taking the medicine as prescribed, and quit taking it when the doctor says to do so, you should not have any problem!. There are lots of reasons why this could happen, but pharmacists are usually extremely careful with narcotics like Oxycodone, and I'd be a little concerned about one which could make that kind of mistake!. Perhaps the prescription was not written clearly!? In any case, I think you are safe from any kind of trouble!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I don't see how you could actually have 10 extra!. Schedule II drugs are very, very, very closely monitored!. Are you sure you took them as often as you thought you did or were supposed to!.
There will not be an automatic refill on these!. Since oxycodone is a Schedule II drug refills are not allowed by law!. The Federal Government has restricted Schedule II drugs to only a 30 day supply with no refills allowed!. You can get a second script from the doctor but the doctor CANNOT put in a refill on the original script!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
