when a pain management dr gives you a drug test and then writes you a script, why want he give you a refill...my dr would drug test me and give me a script+ a refill, he done tht for 2 years...now all of a sudden when he drug test me; he will give me my scripts but no refill, bc he drug teste
d me..tht seems odd...any advice as to why he wiuld change within a month...its like hes finding ways to get me in there every month now....i need serious abswers.

Wow, your pain doc seems even more confused than mine. I just wish that there was something I could say or suggest that might make your issues easier to deal with.

i thought a dr couldnt write tht unless he saw you....i called and asked  for some more bc my surgeon wouldnt give me nothing, and tht was when i went to his office and picked it up...last month he wrote them early an allowed the drugstore to fill them...

he wouldnt give me refills on lortab nor valium....there was one time a month or 2 ago he wrote a script for ms contin..all i had to do was pick it up.i didnt even have to see me...thts why im so curious about the sudden change in him.

Ms-contin is a schedule II drug, those, by law, can't have refills. Lortab is a schedule III, so those can have refills if the doctor wants to authorize those. I hope that helps. Good luck to you.

he's had me on lortab the entire time ive seen him...but in jan. he put me on ms contin bc i had a bad gallbladder...in feb. he said i will write you one more, but when i went back in march he asked me how many back ooerations ive had, i told him 3...he said ill keep you on ms contin...25 days later he decides to let me stay on it...its like in the past 2 months hes changed alot...like i said after every drug test i would get a script and a refill..this is the first time he wouldnt...this month will be 3 months in a row ive gad to see him...ive never failed a drug test...my friend said he has a crush on ne, thts why i have to go every month now....he is younger than me, but i wanted serious answers.... thanks for the advie

I have been with my pain management doctor for 7 months. He prescribes me Duragesic fentanyl patches at 100 mcg. and Nucynta 50 mg for pain related to my back problems. He does not authorize refills. I have to pay 150.00 a month to see him (I have no insurance), and he gives me the scripts for the coming month. A week ago he gave me a drug test for the first time, and before that appointment was done he gave me the scripts for the coming month.

it sounds pretty common to me every couple months my dr gived me a drug test and never gives me a script for 1 month worth of meds.  I have to go in every month to get my scritps.  I may be because they have changed the laws on different pain meds and do not allow for refills

Most pain docs evaluate their patients every month and do not give refills. They have the right to have you come in once a month. Consider yourself lucky that most of the time you are seen every other month.
