Can doctors write refills for narcotics on the original prescription?

Answer 1

It depends on the type of narcotic. Schedule II narcotics (Percocet, Demerol, Morphine, Fentanyl, etc.) cannot have refills circled/checked on the prescription slip, a new original scrip must be written each time. Schedule III and higher (Vicodin, Lortab, Lorcet, Vicoprophen, Darvocet, Tylenol with Codeine, etc.) can have up to 6 refills marked on the slip.

Answer 2

You guys need to stop saying she's addicted she's obviously not and you would know that it you paid attention to the facts. She said she's doing 5 a day, not that she was doing 5 and now wants 6 from her doc. If you have tolerance that plateaus higher that other people that may just be your body and and it's differences. I bet someone else in your family is on xanax or should be. Some people don't get that it's a genetic thing and if you become stable (ie taking 5 pills a day and not going any higher because of numbness) then good for you. Your doctor shouldn't have brought you up or let you go up to 5 a day of she wasn't thinking or that possibility, it sounds like she was setting you up for really bad withdrawals. Either that or she doesn't know the drug very well. Sorry you're struggling.

Answer 3

Pharmacy will always call the doc expecially if it's a refill on narcotic. This is to avoid substance abuse.People try to get away with writing fake prescriptions. You can never be too careful .

Answer 4

Yes, doctors can write refills for just about anything, but if it is a serious problem, or if it seems like you are addicted your doctor will probably want you to come in for a check up before he or she would write a refill.

Answer 5

Yes he can, however the pharmasist will just verify anyway so if
anyone puts a check mark there illegally, will be in big trouble!.
