Listen to this, About 17 yrs ago they came out with a special triplicate presciption form in Ny state. Which was
3 pages with carbon in the middle.These are very tightly
controlled by the state. Now the thing ,along with the shed.2 drugs they put Shed. IV drugs on this list that u must have a triplicate script. All Shed. III are still on
a regular script. Now something like Klonopin and all Benzo,s will go on a special form with Morphine,oxycotin,adderall etc. While Norco 10,Fioricet w/codein etc. is on a regular form.. Please reply inside and outside N.Y. State..

New York State no longer uses the triplicate prescription forms that you are referring to - they were phased out and replaced with a one-part Official New York State prescription form for Sched II substances & selected others.
Most benzodiazepines (Sched IV)are required to be written on these New York State forms...this isn't a new requirement.

Sorry Pink for using the wrong fourum. I know they changed
the triplicate script to 1 piece but I didn't want to confuse non-new yorkers with the point I wanted to make. I still dont understand the system. the shedules were made for
classifying danger,additive potential,rate of abuse etc.
then why would they put II an IV on State script, and leave
III on a reg. sheet. According to there own Shed. III is supposed to be much more abused,additive than Shed IV. Are you telling me a Halcion or Klonipin is so much worse than Hydro 10,Butalbital w/cod. or darvocet-N 100 Come on!!!

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.
