Doesn't the government keep track of controlled substances? Sheesh, my daughter has ADHD and takes Focalin, I tried to have them fill her prescription a little early because we were leaving for vacation and they nixed that because Focalin is a controlled substance.
Great point elle. There are controlls by the Feds. But, it's always the honest people, like you who get caught up in this first.
Controlled substance prescriptions have to have the doctor's DEA government drug number and a embossed stamp and for most parts are written for a single time to be filled. Usually a refill can't be called in, but rather you go to the doctor to get an entire new script and take it to the pharmacy.
However, when you doctor shop, go to different doctors in order to obtain a number of the same prescription, it takes awhile for the Feds to catch up on this practice. But, they do catch it. Just takes some time. Looks like Hank Sr's number was up.
