It would vary by state. In Cali, additional pressure is put on both docs and pharmacies, at different times. (Like when several celebs OD and the media focuses on certain meds.)
Pain docs, are watched the most closely, and in turn can be leerly of prescribing opiates. They see the greatest amount of drug seeking patients...
Certain meds do raise red flags, Oxy is one of them. I didn't like it because it made me feel more intoxicated, but everyone reacts differently. For those that it provides the best pain relief for, they just need to work on maintaining a good relationship with their docs.
I had a pharmacist I really respected, that caught errors over the years, and was kind of a stickler. I'd rather err on the side of caution.
ANYWHOO-you have nothing to worry about. Worst case scenerio they're just checking on compliance, which you are!
