Is storing prescriptions on top of refrigerator a good idea or bad (because of the heat-if any) on top of the refrigerator?

Bad, hide them. You should never leave your meds out

Generally no, that is not a good idea due to the fact that heat can be released from your refrigerator due to it's cooling mechanisms, as well as the fact that moisture can also escape, both of which the FDA lists as contributing to the degradation of medications. The best place to store medications is a cool, dark, dry location.

Are there any other questions?
