I don't think so, isn't methadone schedule II? I think you need a new prescription each time. Maybe a pharmacist can verify this.

Default Methadone refills

Sounds like you wonder such a thing due to you being about to fill out a stolen prescription yourself. Don't do it. It's a federal crime and you'll get caught.

Methadone is a class 2 medication..meaning it needs a new script written each time it gets filled. The script has to be written for the person/child taking the medication along with the specific amount and clear directions, for no more than one month and must be filled within a certain time period. NO refills. Hope this helps.

Hello.
Blueberries is 100% correct. You must have hard copy each and everytime you get a filled re-filled script. there are strict laws regarding this type 2 medication. Also a pharmacist will not accept faxes either for this type or any other type of medication in its respected class. You need an ID each time you get this filled too.
