Here's the final score on DEA numbers: Each DEA number is composed of 2
letters followed by 7 digits. The 7-digit code contains a check digit
that can be easily verified just as credit cards contain check digits
that can be checked, even if there's no way to know if that particular
number is real.

It goes like this: The first letter is always an A or B (though all the
scrips I've seen have had an A). The second letter is always the first
letter of the doctor's last name. In some cases, it may be the first
letter of a female's maiden name. Now to the numbers. The first six
digits CAN be random. That seventh is the check digit. To get it you add
the first, third, and fifth digits. Separately, add the second, fourth,
and sixth digits and multiply that by 2. Add that number to the total
from 1,3,5. The last number of that total is the check. Example: Let's
make the first six 123456. Add 1, 3, and 5 to make 9. Then add 2, 4, and
6 to get 12 and multiply by 2 -- 24. 24 plus 9 equals 33. The last digit
in 33 is 3, so our final 7-digit sequence becomes 1234563. Ta da!

All that information is taken from a Loompanics article titled "Drugs by
Computer". It may be reprinted in Loompanics Unlimited Live! in Las
Vegas.

Quick note: I used that method and a Macintosh to make my own scrips for
Dilaudid. It worked several times before I was arrested due to my own
carelessness. I spent 8 months in a mental hospital/rehab clinic and am
now on probation for 2 years. I count myself very lucky as I could have
been charged with a Class 4 Felony (up to 5 yrs prison). If you're going
to do it, be careful.

Also, there's a book called Prescription Abuse or something similar that
has some helpful information.

Take care.
