I know very little about buprenorphine. I do know stimulants like Ritalin or dexedrine have different laws state to state. When I lived in Chicago, a doctor would mail me a prescription for ritalin and it had to be taken to the pharmacy in 3-7 days (according to the date on the script.) (Mail in Chicago can take a long time... it is almost like Italy :) and it was easier to go to the office and pick it up in person because the scripts would be out of date by the time the mail came.) In Wisconsin, I have 60 days. (My doctor works out of Illinois but I live and go to pharmacies in Wisconsin so those are the laws followd.) With amphetamines, one can never get more than 30 days worth (although I've never heard of a limit on the dose such as the one mentioned ealier in the thread.) A friend of mine worked in a doctor's office and ended up in jail for calling in prescriptions for xanax for herself. She didn't get caught for a long time. I've often wondered how pharmacies know if a written presciption is real or if a call or fax is real? It seems like it would be easy to fake.
