Schedule IV
Many of the drugs in Schedule IV are not inherently illegal to possess. Schedule IV drugs include the following:
- Lorazepam, commonly used to treat seizure disorders
- Zolpidem, commonly used to treat insomnia
- Phenobarbitals, commonly used to treat epilepsy
Because a doctor must prescribe each of these drugs, illegal possession would entail possession one of these drugs without the express permission of a medical professional. Penalties may include up to a year in jail or a fine of up to $1,000. If a motor vehicle is involved, it could cause a suspension of your Oklahoma driving privileges.
