All Controlled Substances (narcotics, barbiturates and combination drugs/derivatives) are listed under 5 Schedules, each one being a list of narcotics/compound drugs and barbiturates based on their content and abuse potential. Each has specific access, prescription and dispense requirements as well. The Schedules are maintained by the DEA.

Schedule 1 drugs are all of the illegal drugs - Heroin, Marijuana, etc. No viable medical use. (medical marijuana is a completely different animal)

Schedule 2 - Everything I take. Drugs in this Schedule include Oxycodone, Codeine, Fentanyl, Morphine, Dilaudid, Meperidine (Demerol), Methamphetamines and combinations using these. No prescription refills allowed, and no call-in prescriptions allowed. Patient must have a new prescription for each refill. I've been doing it every month for the past 9 years.

Schedule 3 - Hydrocodone (Vicodin) and combinations, Butalbital, Codeine analgesics (low amount of Codeine with another drug), etc. Can be refilled and called in.

Schedule 4 - Most of the minor pain stuff - Darvon, Analgesic combo's, etc. Also includes stuff like Ambien.

Schedule 5 - Codeine and Opium based oral preparations (syrups), similar type drugs.

Note: Most bizarrely, methamphetamine is considered to have "medicinal value" (the military uses it) so it is a schedule 2 rather than schedule 1, yet marijuana is considered schedule 1 even though it can be prescribed by a doctor and there is a pure pill form manufactured by pharmaceutical companies that can also be prescribed.

Adderall drug classification?

Adderall is a stimulant. It is a combination of 2 amphetamine salts, dextroamphetamine and amphetamine. It is a schedule 2 controlled substance which often gets the name "Narcotics" due to the fact that most prescribed narcotics belong in this schedule. However, a schedule 2 classification means it has (1) a high potential for misuse and abuse, (2) that a new, hand-signed prescription with a spelling of the number of the quantity to be dispensed is required for each refill, (3) as well as a few other restrictions on the way it can be prescribed or who can prescribe it.
