In my state, all scripts are just on regular prescription pads, but for Schedule II & III drugs, you have to give your Social Security number. Any doctor in the state can then call in or go online or something and find out any Scheduled drug prescriptions from any doctor that you've gotten filled anywhere in the state. (They're supposed to have to *be* your doctor in order to get this info, but I doubt anyone checks.) This is to combat drug-seeking etc.
