[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 214479, member: 1233"] Heather, I am sorry CVS said they were backordered. When we lived near a CVS I could not get ANY scrip filled there because they were always out of it. Even things like amoxicillin for hte kids, and pharmacies should NEVER be out of that one! Go ahead and transfer the scrip. You can always transfer it back if you prefer CVS. Be aware that MOST states let a pharmacist decide if they don't want to fill a scrip. This came to light with birth control and with the morning after pill. Pharmacists can decide they are not comfortable filling a scrip. Often they own't tell you, but will send you somewhere else. THis is why I am at a small, family owned pharmacy where they KNOW me and my problems. One pharmacist was my pharmacist at another place from the time I was 15. I have just moved wherever he was when we lived near him. He has a good idea of what can be used to treat a problem and if he thinks you are abusing something he will pull you aside and let you know - never any bs about it. Andi f he is out, he truly is. But it never takes more than 2 business days to get a medication (they were short on my pain medications on Sat, but had them in on Mon afternoon - thought MOST big chains take several more days to get medications back in stock around here. Our Walgreens takes a week to 10 days to get most medications, and they are ALWAYS out. Of everything.) Gentle hugs my sweet. Get your medications and stay AHEAD of the pain. Don't wait until you are in pain to take them. For the pain clinic, at least he has agreed to see you. I was rejected by EVERY pain clinic in our state. Yes, the entire state. I got in to see the ONE in my town. He is the doctor who wrote "drug addict" on the chart right in front of me. Took up the whole page. And I didn't even ASK for pain medications. He wouldn't even look at my records. So the wait stinks, but there IS hope. Is there any chance you can go see him in another location or office? Wherever he works the rest of hte week? Or see one of hte other partners, even if there is a wait? Be kind to yourself. If you won't, how can you expect the kids to? [/QUOTE]
