My stepsister went into detox for Klonopin. I discussed with her about notifying her pharmacies, but told her not to do it until she was ready to not take Klonopin again. To my surprise, within a couple of days, she notified all her pharmacies that she had recently been to detox for addiction to Klonopin and wanted it noted on her record that she was not to have Klonopin dispensed to her, under any circumstances.

All pharmacists were cooperative. She also has heart abnormalities and says that certain medications are "black flagged" because of this issue, so they are not given to her without a doctor's approval by phone and this includes some pain medications.

So, yes, I do know that you can do what you are asking, but it seems you would never be able to obtain a pain medication if you did this? Perhaps have one pharmacist that you have the agreement with "never dispense pain medication to me without phone approval by my dr.", unless manipulating your dr. is a problem.

Hugs and prayers!
