Although you are probably right because you are "in the loop", I bet the govt has a complete list somewhere. And the day I believe the DEA's website.....well, you know :-) If you ever find out more, would love to hear about it! Thanks for the info Kellie.

So, I did some checking. ABC made it sound like there is some national system set up by the DEA which tracks all our prescriptions - that is false and can be found by looking on DEA's web site. There are some Prescription Monitoring Programs set up at the state level - but it's not in all states - it isn't in my state of Minnesota. Also, it's mostly used for CII-CIV (controlled substances). Vermont does have a system and they only track controlled substances. I can't recall a single anti-depressant that is controlled. There are quite a few of anti-anxiety meds and people often (I think) get them confused.
