My dentist prescribed me Meprozine, and he told me it is a class two narcotic. What exactly is a class two narcotic? How many different classes of narcotics are there?

So does that mean I'll probably end up addicted to this stuff? Cause that doesn't sound like too much fun...

There are 5 classes of narcotics depending on how addictive the medicine is. 5 being the lowest with abuse potential and 1 being the highest. Schedule 2 Includes narcotic drugs with a high potential for abuse but with currently accepted medical use in treatment. (opiates, cocaine, methadone, meperidine)
Schedule 2N Includes non-narcotic drugs with a high potential for abuse, such as amphetamines, phenmetrazine, methylphenidate, and short-acting barbiturates.
Schedule 2 and Schedule 2N drugs require a properly executed, manually signed prescription (meaning they can't be called in or faxed in to the pharmacy). NO REFILLS are permitted on these orders.

There are five classes (called schedules) of narcotics.

Schedule II drugs have a high tendency for abuse, may have an accepted medical use, and can produce dependency or addiction with chronic use.
