Schedule II Drugs/ Re: Laurie's post to

[Guest guest]

Hello all. Laurie's post to raised a question with me. She

was

talking about frequent visits to your pain clinic/pain doc to get

refills of pain meds. I'm wondering if all of you that are on

Schedule II drugs (duragesic/fentanyl patch, percocet, etc.) go in

every single month to get a new hard copy prescription, or do you

phone your doctor to request and pick up at their station, or what?

I'm in Minnesota and doctors can't write a prescription with refills

for Schedule II drugs. The pharmacy's have to have a new hard copy Rx

each time you fill. Most of the time I call in and remind him to

write the Rx and I pick it up. Do you all see your pain doctors once

a month, or is MN just wierd in how it handles?

Thanks,

SamT
