When I think controlled, I think about meds that are deemed abuseable or sellable "on the street", such as ritalin or adderall. For those, no refills allowed (you must get a new script on paper every 30 days), doctor may not phone it in, you have to hand over your driver's licsence when you drop off and pick up the prescription-they write the number on the paper script. Absolutely no "refilling" before the thirty days are almost up-even if you are not using insurance. The paper scripts expire exactly seven days after they are dated. Note that even benzos are not controlled this way!
