RE: stretching meds..grrrr

[Guest guest]

*I have to go every month to get my pain meds. I don't know if this is the

law in Ohio, but I have never have had refills. I understand with the

morphine I take that it has to be written with no refills, but I don't know

about the Percocet (oxycodone.) I drive an hour one way. (I am tired of

this, but hate to change docs. because he's Ok and was recommended by my

back doc.)

Bunny, you said that should check with the chief medical

professional in the building. Who would this be? My pain doc. owns the

clinic. He's the only one- it's not a hospital or anything like that. I

have no probs. with them at all, but should I ever- who do you mean?

Where can one find the narcotics prescribing laws for their state? I guess

I can do a search on it.

In FL the docs have to write out the script and you have to hand deliver it to

the pharmacy, They cannot be called in.

*Same way here in Ohio, Kate. Maybe the pharmacy has to have the hard copy

in hand.

If your pain doctor owns the clinic he is likely the chief medical. Thats

usually the senior doctor on staff that manages the other doctors.

I take 300mg Ultram ER. Expensive, but worth every cent. I'm now paying an $80

copay as my insurance has a 20% copay. But I continue to pay it because it makes

such a difference to me!
