change ADHD and Narcolepsy medications from Schedule 2 back to Schedule 3.

Created by J.T. on May 01, 2015

Medications used for the treatment of ADHD and Narcolepsy including Amphetamine mixed salts (Adderall), Dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine) and Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) are vitally important to take on a regular basis without missing a dose. Amphetamine was originally placed on Schedule III, but moved to Schedule II in 1971. I petition that it be returned to Schedule III because refills of prescriptions for Schedule II substances are not allowed. This creates an unnecessary burden to both the practitioner and the patient if the medications are to be used on a long-term basis. For instance I have had to go up to a week without being able to get my medicine due to being unable to get to my doctor to pick up a physical written prescription and hand deliver it to my pharmacy.
