Jonysuede, I agree with you...I'd think that many Class III meds, particularly painkillers, are just as addictive as the Sched IV benzos, maybe more so. I'm only venturing a guess here, but perhaps benzos are included as part of the "dangerousness" criteria, because w/d from benzos can actually be fatal. Maybe in order for meds to be placed on the official prescription blanks they must meet all three criteria? Its a good question.

I actually haven't had a Sched III script written in NY in years...my doctor is in NJ and my monthly scripts that are Sched II, III, and IV are all written on the same prescription forms - the only "rule" that I know of is that I must fill them within the state of NJ. If you run into trouble in the future getting a NY doctor to prescribe benzos for you, it might be easier to just cross the border into Fort Lee - as much of a pain as that would be, it'd be worth it if you could get the meds you needed. Glad to see you got the Valium though.

Take care.
