In California where I am a dr cannot write a script for more than 120 pills. If it's a phone in a month at a time then maybe that can be stretched to 6 months. I don't like to do call-ins because sometimes the staff forgets to call it in and if I am on a Friday with my last pill I have to go the weekend without anything. That's horrible. As to the other, I'm reading a lot on the Internet and seeing news episodes "Are Benzos the Next Opioid Crisis?" obviously people in high places are trying to make benzos into a taboo medication that dr's shouldn't prescribe just like they did with the painkillers. I feel it is just a matter of time.
