Is it possible to get a refill prescription early if your controlled substance was stolen?

I wont personally: I usually do not refill such prescriptions for fear of enabling addiction. There are too many cases of prescription drug abuse.

Common cause: One of the most common excuses the physicians have to deal with is a controlled substance being stolen. Most doctors have dealt with these. It depends on what is your doctor's policy. As a rule, no physician would refill a lost prescription till the next refill, or may give you the last one and tell you to find another doctor. Prescription drug abuse is widespread and hence these rules..
