[QUOTE="witzend, post: 14876, member: 99"] According to my insurance company who is now mailing me three months worth of medications at a time, a federally controlled substance narcotics scrip can be issued for a six month period. when I got them from the pharmacy, I would get a month's worth at a time. Now I get them in the mail and they send 3 months worth twice. (Much cheaper this way, but you have to watch the mailbox like a hawk!) Of course, each doctor has their own prescribing regimen that they adhere to for their own comfort. How long has this doctor been writing this Rx? If it has been working successfully for say 6 months or more, you should be able to talk to him about relaxing the visits to at least bi-monthly or even as needed every six months. If you [i]do[/i] decide to change doctors, please be sure that you have someone new lined up who will write the rx without making things harder on you than they already are. I didn't read all of the replies and etc, but have you voiced your concerns about this and if so what does he say? If you tick him off, he could raise "medication seeking" concerns about you with any new doctor you choose and you could be worse off than you are now. If it's working, you don't want to change the medication. What does difficult children pediatrician say about this? You could ask him to write the scrip with the therapist being seen as needed to confirm that things are under control. There's no way a pediatrician would expect to see you once a month. I think that might be a good place to start. [/QUOTE]
