Xanax Script Every 2 3 Weeks

Updated

Is it ok for a dr to prescribe a month supply of xanax, 120 one ml pills, every two or three weeks. I fill it at alternating pharmacies, one never using insurance. Have not had any problems doing this.

I think it is 1mg, not 1ml, just to correct my mistake. My doctor never seems to think anything of my frequent visits. The independent pharmacist(don't use insurance with him) just told me to go to any other drug store when I went back to him too early. Guess he is not in a database. I followed his directions and got my xanax. Doing same for a while now. Anything wrong with this? Certainly not abusing insurance because I pay out of pocket every other time.

Yes there is something very wrong with this scenario? You and your Doctor are both violating Federal Law. Sure you can pay cash in areas that don't have a local Data Base to catch this, but a month supply is supposed to be dispensed once a month, perhaps a few days earlier. While your Doctor can get around this by doubling your dose, both you and he are violating federal law and its a matter of time before the DEA or local authorities can take action against the both of you, really!

OMG! Never thought that since I trust the doctor and pharmacist! Will either follow your advice or wait the appropriate time to refill in the future. What can happen to me for doing this?

Could it really be that serious? I mean we r talking about schedule IV medicine that is legitimately prescribed and insurance is not being abused. Pharmacist even told me I could do this. Granted, getting about a week early, but certainly not like I am selling or doing something illegal with the medicine. Any other thoughts on this?

You can be arrested and jailed for obtaining additional controlled medicine before you are supposed to have these refills. Similar to Dr. Shopping where people just go from provider to provider to obtain additional amounts. Any trained Peace Officer would arrest you on the spot. I have 3000 spare mg of Xanax (don't ask me how) and I only did what you did twice, knowing it was wrong. By looking at the bottle and doing some simple math you are opening yourself up to serious problems. I'm surprised the Doctor is helping you skirt the law. Have the doctor increase your dose or stop what you are doing before you are stopped!

Both of you are breaking the law and the Insurance Co has nothing to do with it. A 30 day supply means just that, paying cash doesn't change the fact you take more than prescribed. Plus the Dr's DEA # is on the script along with your name and date of birth.Getting away with it doesn't make it ok. Tomorrow or in 3 years you and the Dr. might get a visit from the DEA. Is that reason enough to stop and think. They work slow but they do catch up sooner or later.

oh yes u will get In trouble and they can take ur xanax away and put u on a low dose benzo and wean u off I have seen it happen; if u truly have anxiety and need them get them filled as needed EVERY MONTH not twice as that only makes it look like u are abusing Ur meds or selling them which is illegal, so please stop before u get cut off Ur meds and end up in jail and they do not give any controlled Meds there !!

Wow. I guess u r right. Will stop now. Do u think I have anything to worry about if I do exactly as prescribed and waiting 30 days to refill from now on?

Yes a schedule 4 drug and the # 1 cause of Overdose Death when mixed with Opiods to extreme. The Feds are on the warpath - politically incorrect. Need I say more.

Blondie, don't worry about it just don't do it anymore and don't carry bottles with you with questionable dates. Use them up first. Have your Doc just write you for a higher dose, ie the 2 mg bar if you want to stock up. Happy Holiday!
