Cutting of Supply of Neurontin

We have a mentally unstable member of the family who is able to acquire neurontin over the internet from a "web pharmacy".  The drug seems to be exacerbating her already problematic hostility and paranoia.  

Does anyone have suggestions as to how to legally cut off her supply?

She's becoming increasingly dangerous, and we're afraid for her and everyone else.

I think I've been unclear.

This family member is in the habit of taking drugs that harm her.  She is able to confabulate reasons why webdoctors should prescribe this dangerous substance along with a few others.  The effects of the Neurontin are making her dangerous to herself, the rest of the family and the community,  Her paranoia is getting worse, her hostility is getting worse, and last week she rear ended a school bus.   We'd really like to cut off her supply of this dangerous substance.  

It is unfathomable to us that a "doctor", albeit a "webdoctor", would prescribe this to someone he's never seen.  How is this legal?

She could be eligible for emergency Medicaid and get coverage through there. That could transition to straight Medicaid. I also know people have posted about some pharmacies that give discounts. Its better to order from your local pharmacy as online pharmacies are more likely to give people difficulties such as this and are unregulated. If you have questions about benefits issues you could go to your local independent living center. There is one in every county of every state. Here's a list:
