I saw A Doc last week ( not my regular Doc)-i took along some old bottles of Meds, so he would know what to give me.
My Reg PcDoc gives me 20mgs Rit 3x daily + 10mgs night,=70mgd Ritalin +5mgs Valium 3x daily=90 tabs
I grabbed some old empty bottles (other Doc) and i showed them to Doc i saw. he dutifuly fulled it for Ritalin 20mgs 4x daily=80mgs + 105 Valiums-15 more than usual.
This has happened before, when my maim PcDoc has been away, and i have come in for my meds, with another Doc
Cheers
