    So a new Doctor gave me a prescription for my Concerta recently. He said he was going to give me a six month supply.

    I assumed he meant that I would get 6 1 month refills, but instead when the pharmacy dispensed it, I discovered that he had ordered 2 – 3 month supplies.

    Beyond the fact that it was kind of a shock to the wallet all at once, is this considered good practice when prescribing a drug that has a street value? Admittedly in my case, it’s just Mr. Ivriniel and I living in the house, so we don’t have to worry about oh, say a teenager taking it and selling it or something, but still: somebody breaks in, and they might get the motherlode.

    Just curious what doctors might think.
