Regardless of the medication you are taking being controlled, make sure it is the right one, before getting wrapped up in multiple ‘scrips, and all. That is the trial and error I mentioned. It takes patience and time (Yea I know ADD, right!)
Drugs are put on the controlled substance lists because of their potential to be either addictive, or abused or both. The definitions and lists are here: http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/schedules/
I know Adderall is a schedule II, and it seems like I have to jump through flaming hoops every time I need to fill the prescription. It wasn’t until I had been taking it for a couple months, that my doctor, my wife, and I decided it was the one. Then we got the multiple scrips, dated in one month intervals.
