Ny's I-stop Law What Do You Think About My Friend's Situation? (Top voted first)

Hi. my friend has Add, legitimately, however he has doctor shopped sort of...one doc SWIM gets prescribed adderall, the other ritalin....in average dosages. he see the docs about two weeks from one another. He sees each once a month. He lives in NY and there is this new law I-Stop which makes it mandatory for psychiatrists to consult the prescription monitoring database before prescribing controlled substances starting August 27, 20113. He plans on dropping one doc and just seeing one for ritalin and taking it as prescribed. If he stops doctor shopping now do you think he will be okay? Doyou think his main doc will still prescribe me ritalin once August comes and she checks the system if he gets his act straight starting now? For March, April, May, June, July and August he will have one doctor and ritalin as their only controlled substance for add filled just once a month. Will this work? What do you think?

Hello,

I have heard of the law that you are talking about. I imagine that if your friend abides by the rules of this law by the time that it is passed he will be just fine. What he's doing right now, or what he has done shouldn't matter. If he keeps all of his medical records to show that he legitimately has ADD and requires the Ritalin, he shouldn't have a problem getting a prescription. However, no one can know for sure what will happen until the law is passed. Your friend should ask his psychiatrist about this if it's a major concern.

I hope the insight helps!
