Big difference is that you cannot call it a level II. If you are hurting and need some more meds you will have to go by and get a prescription. Ok 9-5 if you live in the same town. Sucks after hours and on weekends.
Another example of how the government cannot solve a problem so it makes life difficult for everyone.

Actually, schedule IIs can be called in in limited quantities for emergency situations, but most shy away from doing so (understandably).

So narcotics should never be called in anyway? Phenergan with codeine for cough? Tylenol #3 for dental pain? Hycodan (currently) for cough? I'm curious to see how the dentists and oral surgeons in my area handle this rule change since Norco appears to be the drug of choice for dental pain.

A lot of people (medical field included) use the term narcotic as a synonym for CIIs, which is not always correct. The rule change is also not changing all narcotics to schedule II.... just hydrocodone combination products.
