Been there -- the supporting, the pressure. You are feeling resentful for having to support him and now the pressure to give him YOUR meds. What's worse is that your not having them is causing negative issues for you. No surprise. That's why it is is prescribed to YOU. The whole situation is a pretty sweet deal for him and a totally raw deal for you.

What to do is reclaim YOUR prescription. Because of the above, and also because of the points raised by other posters.

Besides, if it is felt that the solution is for him to find a new pdoc, he has little to no incentive to do so with you giving him your meds.

And if you think you feel resentment now? Imagine this continuing -- think of refills, new scripts, potential conflicts with getting scripts you need (if you were inclined to convince yourself you didn't need this one, despite the evidence -- love has a funny way of making us justify things against evidence...) So then you would be put in a position of having to lie in your appointments...

It's a slippery and messy slope, GUARANTEED to increase your resentment. Don't do it. I say this out if the caring -- I'd hate to see that situation for you.

P.S. "Just until I get a new pdoc" -- Don't get hooked by this sure to be heard line. See above, no incentive to get one, PLUS, there's no guarantee a new pdoc will prescribe him that (or any specific thing) anyway.

Wishing you much strength.
