this thread has been one of the best I have found on this site. My mom has a schedule II pain PATCH. (yep, not even ingest-able) and her pain doc has been requiring her to visit every 30 days and most times she has only seen PA. She drives 45 miles each way to town where there is a pain doctor plus has the expense of a office visit each time. so she has $50 to $60 in expense, beyond the prescription, which is a lot for almost anyone. I will share this with her and see if she can get her doctor to write her 3 prescriptions at a time.
thanks to all for bringing up this issue.
