Advise on moving and switching doctors. Strict out of state perscription laws.
I am getting ready to move from Kansas to California. I have seen the same doctor for over seven years. I currently am perscribed 105 mg of Adderall/day. California has very strict out of state perscription laws, and I don't know what I should do. I have heard of a program to get three months of a perscription at one time, but was not sure if Adderall could be despensed in that high of quantity. If anyone has any idea what I should do or knows of any good doctors in the Long Beach area please let me know, thanks.
Thank you for your question. Adderall is considered to be a controlled substance and therefore you cannot receive a 90 day prescription for it.
As far as finding a doctor in California, ADDConsults has a directory of professionals specializing in or working with people with ADHD.
You can also check on CHADD or ADDA for either a doctor or a support group in the area you are moving to. Contact the support group for a recommendation of a doctor in the area.
I hope this helps. Please keep us updated on how you make out with your move and finding a new doctor.
