> We can't fax controlled prescriptions in my state, and they can only be written 1 month at a time. It's a hassle. I'd love to live in one of the states that allows refills and faxes.
>In the states (US) I have lived in this is only a restriction with schedule II, which are all amphetamines and some stims. All other scheduled meds, III-IV (benzos, pain meds(most), sleeping meds) are allowed via fax or phone call. Only schedule II has the restriction of no refills. That is per the federal requirements; state boards of pharmacy can modify this. I get 6 month scripts (five refills) of atavin, lunesta, and provigil. My pdoc will provide postdated scripts for amphetamine.
