Xanax New Laws

15 Topics Found

I have done a lot of reading on the new United States 2013 Xanax laws. There aren't any? You can still obtain up to a 6 month supply of any schedule IV (4) medicine which includes Xanax. Some States have limited MD's to writing for a 30 day supply even forcing you to see a Specialist and putting you on a 'performance plan'. Please do not confuse local and State laws with Federal laws! ## I haven't come across any new laws pertaining to the use of Xanax in my research either. Were you led to believe that there would be any sort of changes this year? Erowid tends to have a pretty up to date list of this type of information on an international level if you're interested in having a look: erowid.org/pharms/alprazolam/alprazolam_law.shtml I hope this helps! ## Yes tha...

I've been taking Xanax for a few years now and I've been with my Dr. for 8 years. My Dr. moved in July 2017 and we received a new Nurse Practitioner in late August 2017. I scheduled an appointment with her so I could meet her and go over my history. She completely took me off my Xanax and my Ambien and put me on Klonopin. My daughter whose an RN, told me she did NOT want me taking Klonopin. But I thought I would try it. After only taking 2 doses of it my anxiety was so extreme I really thought I would just explode. I felt like I could hurt someone. My skin felt like it was on fire. My heart rate dropped to 73, it normally runs in mid 90's. I also got flu like symptoms. I let the NP know and she tried to tell me it was just allergies and to give it a chance. So I told her I r...

Indiana just changed there laws and my doc says they are makeing them refer people like me to a clinc. I have took methadone for at least 5 years and prob. 10 years. Is Indiana really making them do this or is this just so my doc can be done with me? I hate hate hate are government and the control they have us under!!! ## Hello, Adam! How are you? Yes, new regulations were put in place last year that severely restrict what your regular doctor can prescribe, so you will have to go to a clinic. This is universal all over the U.S. It was done to try to get better control and stop increasing rates of improper prescribing and over prescribing. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## That is totally UNTRUE because I have been prescribed methadone and xanax from my doc who has his own pr...

Need a dr that understands anxiety. This is from after the birth of my son and 1 mg barely takes away my issue. I need a dr that is non judgmental and willing to help. I'm on Long Island... And just want to get through this. I am not addicted to these at all, but when my anxiety is bad. I can't function. Please help. ## All doctors are judgmental. You should be able to find a Doctor that can assist you in a big area like New York? ## Eddy, if it were only that easy! I'm bear NYC, but I really have to stay local. Plus you can be viewed as a dr shopper so easily... I'm just trying to find one non judgements and willing to treat me!!!! Most drs these days are treating the public service announcements and not the patient. ## I don't know what the State/Local laws are lik...

I have situational anxiety, my pcp prescribes me 0.5 alprazolam. She normally writes a prescription which states to take 1 tablet orally 1 x a day. Heres the thing i take them as needed, which is not nearly as much as i am prescribed! it is now 5-5-17 ive had the same prescription since 3-17-17 and still a few left. My pcp is telling me she can longer continue my prescription due to new laws. But ive searched and cant find anything of the new laws pretaining to alprazolam. Can anyone tell me of the new laws ## There are new 2017 regulations on Opioids in your State, nothing I found about Xanax. You might want to look for another provider ## The main issue has nothing to do with laws, but the fact that certain directives from the DEA have caused doctors to be afraid of prescribing such m...

I need a new dr that will prescribe my klonopin and percocet. Either that or a mail order Ican get it thru. My dr retired. ## You can't get either one without seeing an actual doctor for a regular exam/evaluation. Those are prescribing requirements. And under the new laws, you'll most likely not be able to get both from the same doctor, since medications required for any type of long-term pain management will have to be prescribed by a pain management doctor. Learn more Percocet details here. Learn more Klonopin details here. By default that means you'll have to get your Klonopin from a different doctor. Can you post back with your general location? That will help you get more answers, since this site is open to all countries and someone knowing a doctor in San Diego isn...

Just wanted to know if my prescription can be refilled in hollywood FL? It has 1 refill left. ## Most States will let you transfer a controlled prescription one time. ## Yes they will call last pharmacy u had it fill New laws New procedures it's called instacheck all pharmacy thru out the US r connected nowadays due to the New DEA laws ## The only way to get a definitive answer would be to ask your pharmacy. It can be complicated, since this is a controlled substance. Xanax carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and sedation. Is anyone familiar with procedures in that area? ## May I just add the transfer for Controlled medicine (if allowed) must be filled within 6 months from the original prescription d...

If anyone can refer me to dr in pa in uniontown or area near that wont give me a problem giving me my xanax i need them for now i took those n subutex n did very well w mental health and pain n did no other drugs ## When you took them, unless prescribed by a Doctor, you were breaking Federal Law. When you tell your new doctor about your trial experience you would then be identified as a drug seeker? ## I am the 40 ur old woman who wrote about needing my scripts back including subutex and xanax. Yes I was prescribed them n took them as prescribed along my other mental Heath meds. I did great n was pain free as well. It's people like the one asking about being labeled as a drug seeker n breaking laws that cause death by drug overdose on purpose or accidentally like H for people like m...

I need a physician in tampa fla who prescribes xanax ## In most cases, due to the new laws that went into effect at the beginning of the year, if you require it for long-term treatment, you'll be required to see a specialist, such as a Psychiatrist. Except for in certain rare cases, severe restrictions are being placed on how long general practitioners can prescribe such medications. Have you taken it before via a doctor's prescription? Do you have a doctor that you see regularly that may be able to refer you somewhere? Learn more Xanax details here. ## I asked you before, what are these new laws? Are these new State laws? What are the new prescribing limits from the General Practitioner? Xanax has not been re classified or scheduled in our Country. Do you have any links availab...

I need to find a primary care doctor in Johnson City, Tn (or somewhere close) who will prescribe my xanax. All of the doctors I have called aren't accepting new patients and the walk-in clinics don't want to prescribe alprazolam ## Your State changed their controlled prescription laws in 2013. Some say its now the hardest State to obtain Xanax and pain medicines due to the massive abuse going on there. ## Well I have been taking xanax for years now. My problem is this... I became personally involved with my last primary care doctor so he had to dismiss me from his practice. He wrote me one last prescription to last me until I found a new pcp but I haven't had any luck yet. ## Can anyone refer me to a surrounding area doctor in Tennessee that will write oxycodone meds? I live...

I talked to a rep at an Indian pharmacy and he indicated that India can no longer ship many of the meds they used to. I'm not sure how to find the exact nature of the new laws in India. ## Believe it or not many Indian Drug companies are legit and do not violate U.S. Law. I would never feel comfortable ordering any C4 or other controlled medicine online and we know it is a Felony any way you look at it ## There are GMP non compliance issues not related to US. It affects EU markets where they do bussiness and internal. Large manufacuters sometimes sub to smaller ones. Some facilities found not go be sterile etc. Probably new regs to be inforced. ## Heck there were Rats & Roaches at IVAX in Miami and then TEVA bought them. Whatever you do don't focus on Indian law, focus on th...

Need a Dr who will be lax on writing me a zanex script in the fort worth area. ## With the new laws, you're not likely to have much like finding a doctor that will do so, anymore. There are some new, more strict regulations that went into effect the first of the year that dictates what they can prescribe, when they can prescribe it, how they can prescribe and for how long and they are relevant to most controlled substances. Learn more Xanax details here. What type of doctor have you been seeing? ## Hi mandyd, I found some helpful advice from another thread on here that I wanted to share with you, in regards to getting a xanax prescription: "Look for a psychiatrist, not a general practitioner, preferably one who specializes in anxiety disorders. Conduct online searches that conta...

it is oval with the #39 on it ## THERE IS NOT A GENERIC OXY OXYCONTIN, IF THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE REFERRING TOO. OXYCONTIN STILL HOLDS THE PATENT TO THAT DRUG, AND UNTIL IT RUNS OUT INABOUT 7 YEARS NO ONE CAN MAKE A GENERIC. BEWARE OF ANYONR TRYING TO GIVE YOU A GEN OXYCONTIN BECAUSE THEY DO NOT EXIST. WHAT YOU'RE DESCRIBING SOUNDS LIKE A GENIRIC XANAX PROBABLY 0.5 MG OR THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT COMES TO MIND RIGHT NOW.XANAX CAME OUT IN 85 86 I THINK, AND IT WAS ABOUT 7-10 YEARS BEFORE ANYONE COULD MAKE A GENERIC. I NOW BECAUSE MY DOCTOR SWITCHED ME FROM VALIUM TO XANAX WHEN THEY FIRST COME ON THE MARKET ## INCORRECT! There are now generic Oxy's available. The proprietary patents do not last that long under the new drugs laws because of their efforts to lower the cost of prescri...

I'm on methadone maintenance and I'm prescribed xanax and now I just got a prescription for amoxacilion anti-biotics. Is this safe to take and a little background info I'm. A. Vet whose got tbi PTSD panic and anxiety disorder ## If you are asking about the antibiotic it should be. I was recently given Cipro in the ER and didn't take it for many reasons, one dose can cause serious problems, even months later. Xanax is good drug yet can cause serious harm if not discontinued properly. Many people these days lose their provider with new State & Federal laws. You can make Meth at home but you can't make Xanax. Good luck! ## Hello, Tommo! How are you? I didn't find any interactions listed between them and the Amoxicillin, but it's always best to double check t...
