Whats your approach to controlled substances?

When is comes to Testosterone, sleep (zolpidem/lunesta/etc), anxiety (BDZ), ADHD meds, opioids... Do you prescribe these? If no, why? Do you see these patients every 3 months/6 months/annually prior to continuing refilling these meds? Require specialist check in annually (ie. Psych with ADHD)? Do you have a contract with all or just specific drugs? And any other information you wanna share Just curious what other providers' routine is when it comes to these meds. Thanks.
