I have also heard that if the doctor writes 3 separate prescriptions for 30 days each and dates each one with the new 30-day date, this can be done - but only for 3 months. Then a new prescription needs to be written and most likely, a return to see the doctor.
As far as double prescribing as Naio suggested, I doubt a good doctor would do this - especially with Schedule 2 drugs. The prescriptions can't be faxed by the doctor and cannot be called in. They have to be the original prescriptions.
This is all a new ruling as of March 2015 and this is being treated altogether different from regular prescriptions. This will really be a problem for some folks.
