Dr. Prescribed medications

Postby Zoecat » Sun Jan 06, 2013 5:51 pm

Can the CPS claim drug abuse for medication your dr. Has you on - and you are taking the correct dosage? After many people I was very close to died -and many other medical horrors - Dr.. put me on an anti depression and anti-anxiety medication. I finally felt I was strong enough emotionally to get off these medications - well big show down with Dr's office - who told me "I had no right to judge them." They just want to continue same treatment and how dare I want off. Left their practice, and seeing a new Dr. who is privately working to get me off these medications.
My point is this - can the CPS - use this against me??? The prescriptions were legal, never over taken, written by my dr. And I have been actively taking steps to get off the medication. Though irony - the whole CPS investigation may swallow me into a black hole of depression - and terror over what the might/could/ have unlimited power to do to my child.

It depends.... if it is for bipolar or type 1 diabetes (among others), you need medication for life.
Advice & opinions provided are no substitute for genuine legal assistance. Laws & rules vary by state/jurisdiction so do your homework and get
an education in CPS laws, rules & practices so that you can FIGHT for your children's rights. I am not a lawyer. Your mileage may vary.
