Yes, I live in Florida... which has significant restrictions... on schedule II stimulants...
Georgia has as well, to my recollection....
The restrictions are not absolute... There are a few other states where the only approved dx for dex / Sched II stims for an adult is narclepsy.
I have lived in quite a few states.. most of the very restrictive regulations were put into effect in the last 10 yrs.
Your pharmacist can give information as to how restrictive your stste is.. The restrictive states require reporting by the pharmacy...
an odd aside is that many of the restrictive states do not require multiple /duplicate prescription copies for schedule II drugs.
most of these restrictions are the result of abuse of stimulants for wt loss & not psychrotropic use. There may or may not be psych exceptions...
This varies due to the position taken by the individual state medical regulatory boards...
Most psych Drs know the regulations well... GPs may not..
