Here is a good link that describes the new Class 2 rules
Consumer Reports on new prescriptions rules
DW doctor writes 3 postdated scripts as mentioned above and found in the link.
In addition, refills are not allowed with Schedule II drugs and many states and insurance companies only allow you to get up to a month’s worth on a single prescription. But your doctor can write multiple prescriptions for a total of up to 90 days worth—for example, three 30-day prescriptions—with instructions to the pharmacist to fill them sequentially. If you need to take the drug for longer than three months, though, you’ll need to go back to your doctor for another prescription.
If your doctor will not do this, it is not the feds regulations but your doctor's own policy.
Did you have a frank talk to your doctor specifically addressing travel?
