Canadian fulltiming prescriptions
I have searched the forum and couldn't find the answer so if this is a repeat, I'm sorry.
My wife and I are preparing to full-time. We plan to spend 6 months south during the winter and 6 months north during the summer. I'm a Canadian and she has dual Canadian/American citizenship. I believe she can sponsor me for residency in the US, but have not checked that yet, so we may be able to domicile on either side of the border. Due to a serious medical condition I take narcotic pain killers. My Canadian pharmacy can only fill one month at a time and requires a new, doctor signed, prescription each month; apparently that's the law. I asked my doctor and he said some people have someone fill the prescription for them and mail it to the patient; I'm not comfortable with cross border narcotic mailings. There must be others with this situation and I'm wondering how they deal with this.
If you have first hand experience with this I will appreciate your insight. Thanks
