tl;dr (31M) my overbearing // controlling “mother” called my doctor and demanded that he no longer prescribe me the anti-anxiety medication that has been prescribed to me for the last 12 or so years. Doctor now refuses to fill my monthly script.

Hi all, I’m a 31 yr. old guy and was in rehab for alcohol (i.e. NOT benzos) for a bit more than 2 months. FWIW I’m temporarily back under my parents’ roof, helping my old man recover from a few illnesses. During my stint in the Nevada rehab, my overbearing and controlling mother found my monthly prescription of legally-prescribed lorazepam. She then proceeded to call my doctor’s office to demand that he not prescribe it to me anymore since I’d gone to rehab of my own volition. She happened to “forget” to also share the reason for my being there which was strictly for booze.

I’ve never once given her permission to act on my behalf in a medical capacity (nor would I ever) but she went behind my back and did so anyway. It’s probably also worth noting that she planted a tracking device in my car to keep tabs on me. Again…I’m 31.

I think that, legally, my doctor cannot make a clinical decision based solely off of my mom’s demands, but he is doing exactly that. In fact he just called to say that he will no longer be prescribing me lorazepam — a medication that has worked charms for my crippling anxiety over the past decade — and have truly never abused (surprising, I know).

My dad tried to protect her and justify it by saying she did it “out of care and concern” but I’m sorry, that’s a serious overstep and violation of my privacy (as was the tracking device in my Honda)

Any legal recourse here? I’ve never granted her access to my records / treatment history and had only listed her as an emergency contact in the case that the doctor’s office needed to contact her - not the other way around. Oh yeah, she also picked up other Rxs of mine from the pharmacy — again behind my back and without my permission.

Any advice (aside from telling me I need to move the fuck out) would be greatly appreciated. If you couldn’t already tell, I’m livid…

TIA
