Has anyone been to their Pain Dr. since they passed the new law that

allows prescriptions to be written for 3 months at a time instead of

Hi Jami, I printed out the article that was posted about the law last

month and my doctor said as soon as we get the type and dose down on

what I will be on she is going to do it every three months to save me

a $25.00 co-pay each visit every month.

We have switched my meds each month looking for a long acting morphine

that works, as soon as we do, she said she would.

She actually post dated my percocet (breakthrough) medication for

January back in December, she put a (do not fill until Jan.1,2008),

the pharmacy held it and filled it on the 1st, no problems.

I think trusted patients will find a lot of physicians will do this

for them on medications that are regular, does not need changing.

Good luck on Tuesday. Janet (SC)
