I’ve been on and off phentermine for 2 years, but doctor says I could be on it for the rest of my life, in some form.

I live in FL. My doctor insists on having me come in every month to refill the rx.

Is this normal? I’m curious if this is a doctor policy, practice policy, state policy, etc.

It is a very much a hassle to drive out there, sit around, and then pay the copay every single month (maybe for the rest of my life!) I know others with other types of controlled substance rx only have to go in annually or bi-annually.

I’m willing to switch doctors, but unsure if this would be the norm everywhere.

Thank you!
