> it's for Adderall, so the pharmacy and doctor cannot exchange the prescription over the phone or computer--I have to do all the back and forth in person with paper This is somewhat off-topic, but I've always thought that the requirement for using a paper prescription for controlled substances was counter-intuitive. To me, it would make more sense to do this electronically and not involve the patient at all in the transfer of the prescription itself. Plus, the electronic system should be able to verify the identity of the prescribing physician and dispensing pharmacist to both parties involved as well as a central authority if necessary, which is more difficult to do with a paper prescription.
