DzooBaby is right, and also they now have to have you sign a contract to prescribe these meds. You will also be required to take a urine test to make sure you are taking them & not selling them. New FDA rules. Alot of doctors do not want to be bothered with all the new paperwork, tests, & training they must take to prescribe benzos...
Hey Mary. I did not know that. Ha! Learned something new. I don't care for the benzos because of my own track record with them but none the less, always good to know. Times have changed. Well, take care my friend and you also DzooBaby, feels like an autumn day here, finally :-0) Fresh pot just made.
Love the Autumn days! A cuppa sounds good right now too Pledge! Was only 37 here last night. Brrrr.I love it tho' Have a great evening... Mary
Don't I know it. That's how I found out about my xanax prescription. My doctor has been prescribing it for years. He's a internal med & allergy doc, but takes care of most of my scripts so the records are in one place. When I couldn't get a refill over the phone (or the drug store) found out I had to take a pee test, & sign the contract. Had an appointment the same day with my new pain doc, & had them take over the xanax with my oxycodone so I wouldn't have to take a test in both offices. Hope you have a great weekend too auntniknik! Heck, I hope everyone has a good weekend...

Thats a good comment. My doc will and does prescribe me both valium and serepax but when i asked to get xanax he went berserk. He needed a xanax I know of rehab clinics here in Australia that wont take you to get you off methadone if you are on benzos which i think is stupid because when youre coming off methadone i think a valium here n there could be crucial in helping you as you reduce. When i went into rehab to reduce off methadone, wowza what a trip of an experience. You couldnt even get a simple panadol and on top of feeling like crap and youre body feeling like a truck has hit it, you were expected to write essays and the chores were never ending but absolutely No valium ever and if you tested positive, see ya later thanks for coming. I lasted all of four days. You werent allowed into your room to ly down until free time which came at 4pm until 5pm.

All the rest of the time you had to talk about how you were feeling whilst sitting on the hard ground as you went around in a circle with up to 15 folk all not really giving a hoot because they were just dying inside. Totally of the subject i i know but what went on in this rehab place compared to the first rehab place i went to who handed valium out like they were smarties.. Ive totally forgotten what the question was.. Tea anyone?
