From what I gathered, it was a CYA move since someone suggested it is illegal to get certain drugs from a friend. That is how I read it anyway. Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't want anyone to get in trouble for sharing meds either.
willyee, have you tried getting some meds from your pharmacist? They generally understand the seriousness of withdrawal and if you use the same store, they will know you have had these scripts filled and know doses, etc. My pharmacy has ALWAYS given me enough to get by if I run out for any reason. I switched docs one time and they were happy to give me enough to get by with confirmation of a new appt. They even once explained how certain folks could be liable if anyone had complications from going without meds. I'd threaten to turn in the freaking doc office unless they called in a script ASAP. They should know the seriousness of withdrawal and I'd make sure they know you are serious about filing a grievance if they don't call in enough until your next appt.
Good luck.
