You know hopeful4, outside of the addiction is different. There was no risk in what you did, it wouldn’t have done anything but effect your dads health in a positive way.
When you go and tell a doctor that someone is an addict … Well you know what there is a huge possibility that this will negatively effect things. There is no way to predict how bad it could become medically and what it will bring to her home life as a reaction from him. And he will find out.
I don’t know why no one realizes that addicts aren’t stupid, the second that doctor asks anything in terms of addiction, he will get paranoid and suspicious and I sure know he will go to her first because she is the one pushing him to tell the doctor.
Tramadol is bad news no matter what they classify it as and it hit’s the same receptors. It comes with a huge contraindication not to be prescribe to anyone with an opiate addiction. Not a good choice. It also has a seizure risk for those taking more than the daily max dose. Which most addicts will do without a thought.
