Since 1970, the United States has maintained the Controlled Substance Act in an effort to protect the general public from potentially dangerous and addictive drugs. Drugs, substances, and certain chemicals used to make drugs are classified into five distinct categories, or schedules, depending upon the drug's acceptable medical use and the drug's abuse or dependency potential. The abuse rate is a determinant factor in the scheduling of the drug. For example, Schedule I drugs have a high potential for abuse and the potential to create severe psychological and or physical dependence. As the drug schedule changes, Schedule II, Schedule III, etc., so does the abuse potential. Schedule V drugs represent the least potential for abuse. Schedule I Schedule I drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Some examples of Schedule I drugs are heroin, lysergic acid dithiolamide, LSD, marijuana, cannabis. Schedule III, IV, Methylenedoxymethamphetamine, ecstasy, methaqualone, and peyote. Schedule II Schedule II drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with a high potential for abuse, with use potentially leading to severe psychological or physical dependence. These drugs are also considered dangerous. Some examples of Schedule II drugs are combination products with less than 15 mg of hydrocodone, per dosage unit, Vicodin, cocaine, methamphetamine, methadone, hydromorphine, mepridine, Demerol, oxycodone, Oxycontin, Fentanyl, Dexedrine, Adderall, and Ritalin. Schedule III Schedule III drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence. Schedule III drugs abuse potential is less than Schedule I and Schedule II drugs, but more than Schedule IV. Some examples of Schedule III drugs are products containing less than 90 mg of codeine per dosage unit, Tylenol with codeine, ketamine, anabolic steroids, testosterone. Schedule IV Schedule IV drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with a low potential for abuse and low risk of dependence. Some examples of Schedule IV drugs are Xanax, Soma, Darvon, Darvacet, Valium, Ativan, Toluene, Ambien, Tramadol. Schedule V Schedule V drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with lower potential for abuse than Schedule IV and consist of preparations containing limited quantities of certain narcotics. Schedule V drugs are generally used for antidiarrheal, antitusive, and analgesic purposes. Some examples of Schedule V drugs are cough preparations with less than 200 mg of codeine or per 100 mL, Robitussin-AC, Lomatil, Modafin, Lyrica, Parapectilin, let's revise them all one more time, Ambien, Schedule IV, Percocet, Schedule II, Vicodin, Schedule II, Xanax, Schedule IV, Ativan, Schedule IV, Clonopin, Schedule IV, Valium, Schedule IV, Oxycontin, Schedule II, Soma, Schedule IV, Tylenol-3, Schedule III, Concerta, Schedule II, Lyrica, Schedule V, Restorol, Schedule IV, Adderall, Schedule II, Duragesic, Schedule II, Methados, Schedule II, Tucinex, Schedule III, Atopex, Schedule IV, Lunesta, Schedule IV, Suboxone, Schedule III, Vyvanse, Schedule II. Schedule III, IV, and V controlled substances can be prescribed in writing or via verbal communication with a pharmacist. Prescribers can authorize a refill in writing or over the phone. However, the drug can be refilled only up to five times in the six months after the date that the prescription was issued. The DEA can change or remove a scheduled substance from a schedule if it receives evidence that a substance is in an inappropriate schedule. Okay, that's all.
