[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 469825, member: 1233"] I am SO SORRY! The rx thing was an example, NOT an amt he actually rx's. It is my PHARMACY that drives me nuts. The doctor is quite generous with medications and puts the right # of pills for a month and for medications like muscle relaxers, lyrica, etc.... he was giving 2 refills because he sees you every 3 mos or so. It is the PHARMACY who looks at a prescription with 2 refills, and only gives one refill or gives no refill. then I either end up going a month with-o medications of that type or fighting over and over and over and over with the pharmacy until I get someone who will pull the actual paper rx. Most of the staff, except for the top pharmacist, seems to think that if it is in the computer it is gospel. Yet they are the ones who put the refills into the computer and don't get that a prescription gets filled once time and then re-filled however many times are on the refills. I just changed to this pharmacy a few months back. the one we had used for years kept stealing my opiates to the tune of 30-40 some months, and accusing me of trying to scam more than I was supposed to have from them. The pain dr requires that you use the same pharmacy for all of your medications. If you change you have to let them know, and do some paperwork. the doctor just offered to write a new rx every 30 days so that I didn't have to change pharmacies, which was very nice, in my opinion. Esp as other than this we really LIKE the pharmacy - they are really nice, far more accurate than other pharmacies we have used (I now count EVERY prescription as I did with the last pharmacy after they kept shorting me and I learned they shorted almost every other rx by 3-10 pills!), very convenient to get to, and when you are sick and waiting for a prescription they bump you to the head of the line (unusual around here) and none of their customers mind because we have ALL gotten bumped up at one time or another. Sorry my example was bad. I was trying to show how the doctor meant to rx a certain # of medications per written rx and the pharmacy was giving far less because they ignored/skipped/messed up the number of refills. I am sorry I gave the wrong impression. I was more tired than i realized last night and didn't say things clearly. [/QUOTE]
