Is it legal for a physician to self-prescribe Schedule II medications for personal use in Wisconsin?

Yes, if it's for legitimate medical use
Yes, but requires documentation
No
Yes, with DEA approval

The correct answer is: Yes, if it's for legitimate medical use

In Wisconsin, it is legal for a physician to self-prescribe Schedule II medications for personal use if it is for a legitimate medical purpose. This exception allows physicians to prescribe controlled substances for themselves only in cases where it is necessary for their own medical treatment. It is important to note that this privilege is limited to Schedule II medications and should not be abused. Option B, requiring documentation, is incorrect as there is no specific documentation needed for self-prescribing in this context. Option C is incorrect as self-prescribing for legitimate medical use is allowed. Option D is incorrect as DEA approval is not required for a physician to self-prescribe Schedule II medications for personal use in Wisconsin.
