90 day refills on Control 3-5
I know this may vary by state laws, I am in North Carolina. Can a refill on a medication that is C3-5 be for 90 days? Here a situation that happened. Prescribed Klonopin 0.5 mg #30 1 po qd with 5 refills. Patient picked up initial #30 then a month later wanted it refilled for #90 because insurance paid the same for #90 as for #30. I had a pharmacist tell me that a person can only get a refill for a 90 day supply on a control only if the prescription was written for #90, so like Klonopin 0.5...

Is it illegal to reuse an "outdated" prescription?
So for the past year I've gone through trial and errors with my doctors trying out different prescription (ie. Paxi, Prozac, Klonopin, Xanax, etc.). About 8 months ago I asked my doctor to switch me from Klonopin back to Xanax (something I had taken previously) because I figured that worked better. I still have my Klonopin prescription bottle with some pills in it, if I were to finish off that bottle, would that be illegal? It still has about 10 pills in it, so it'd take me about 5 months to use it all up. (Source: Cystic Fibrosis Nutrition Forum)

Is having CF a good enough reason to get a Medical Marijuana Card?
So because I have CF, is that a good enough reason for a doctor to get me a MM Card?
Ive done a lot of study about this subject. And I believe an MM Card will benefit me greatly because I have CF. It will help me eat more, as well as help with other issues. I am at a good weight. But I can't eat nearly enough calories the CF doctors say I should be eating. They say I should be eating 4,000 calories a day if I'm working out, and 3,000 calories a day if I'm sedentary. I can't at all eat nearly that much! Like today I ate a ton of food, and I found out that I only ate 2400 calories today. Right now, I'm so full and earlier ...
