To get 2,000 pills in 6 months

Has this been established as fact yet? Or was this just something from the National Enquirer? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm having a hard time remembering which things I read are fact and which are hearsay.

page 5 shows the info from just ONE of the pharmacies that the cops got information from

BTW - a search on the Pharmacology of Norco comes back with a maximum doseage of 6 a day - would anyone here have any info as to what would be the result of doubling that amount ?

Looks like 1700-1800 over six months, when you subtract the non-analgesics. Taking 9-10 pills per day for severe, chronic pain is not unusual. Pain specialists have said this case is setting back pain management treatment 100 years. It is difficult to space prescriptions perfectly, when you have a patient that travels a lot. (That is also a frequent ploy by drug-seekers, "I'll be out of town when my next script is due")
