Abusing prescription drugs with or without a prescription has become a problem across the US and in the Four States. Abusers forge doctors names, signatures or do whatever is necessary to get their drug of choice. The anti-anxiety drug, Xanax, has become popular among abusers. Pharmacists say the only way to stop people from prescription drug fraud is to call and verify suspicious prescriptions.

"I try to call and verify it from the doctor and if the doctor says they didn`t then I tell the patient when they come in that the doctors says they didn`t."
If you get caught forging prescriptions, you could spend up to 7 years in jail.
