What drug schedules can Nurse Practitioners prescribe? My pain clinic has a new Nurse Practitioner. I saw her at my regular appointment yesterday because my doctor was out of town. She wrote my regular Oxycontin prescription (40 mgs) and upped my breakthrough meds to OxyFast Solution. Both of these are Schedule II medications. It was always my undertsanding that Nurse Practitioners could not write anythign stronger than a Schedule III medication. The pharmacy filled these no problem. What gives? Why is she different? Are there different levels of Nurse Practitioner or something? Or is it just that my regular doctor's name and DEA number are pre-printed on the prescription pads too? Where do you come by your information? EVERY nurse practitioner I have ever seen has told me specifically that they cannot prescribe Schedule II medications. I cannot take Hydrocodne as it causes me to have horrible hallucinations/ sleepwalk/ have extremely vivid nightmares, so I've had this conversation several times, in at least 4 different states and the District of Columbia.

Amphetamine more dangerous than cocaine - why on different drug control schedules? I know a fair bit about these two drugs, but I can't figure out the [Canadian] government's reasoning in placing cocaine in a more restrictive schedule (Schedule I) than amphetamine (Schedule III). Both act on the neurotransmitter dopamine - the more of this chemical there is in the synapse (gap between neurons), and the longer it's there, the greater the effects. Cocaine stops dopamine from being reabsorbed into the neuron, keeping it in the synapse. Amphetamine (not methamphetamine - just ordinary prescription Dexedrine, Adderall, etc.) stops dopamine from being reabsorbed, AND it can stimulate the release of MORE dopamine, something cocaine can't do. This would suggest to me that amphetamine is more dangerous, and has greater abuse potential than cocaine. It's just not a stigmatized. The only reason I can think of for keeping amphetamines on a lower schedule is because they have several legitimate medical applications. Then again, so does METH - Desoxyn treats obesity and narcolepsy. Any idea why these drugs are scheduled like this? (By the way, in the USA, both are Schedule II - which seems like a more logical way to have it. Then again, the USA has both LSD and marijuana on Schedule I, which is ridiculous)
