pharmacy fuckups to your advantage....

i don't know if it fits in here but

i work in a medical clinic and im in charge of getting rid of the expired pills samples and usually nothing is interested in there cause doctors cant hold schedueled pharms but one time i found a pill bottle with 56x18mg hydromorph contin caps and 20x5mg percocets and a bottle of liquid dilaudid for IV...all in the expired bag, but they weren't and it doesn't even matter anyway
 
I usually get a script for 100x2mg clonazepam, 100x10mg diazepam & 90x200mg tramadol. (Now, I used to get bromazepam, xanax & ativan too)

Last time I went to the doc early because I had run out of diazepam and tramadol, but I had plenty of clonazepam left. I asked him for a script of diazepam and tramadol. (Didn't ask for all 3 so he wouldn't bitch too hard about me coming back so early.)
In the pharmacy where I always go, they gave me all 3 my medications. So I got an extra box of 100x2mg clonazepam without a prescription.

Also once, out of the blue, she took a box of xanax bars and put it in the bag. Then she went for the rest of my meds. She still gave me all 3 of my meds on top of the xanax. And she DIDN'T CHARGE me for the xanax, LOL. (I used to get xanax prescribed too, so maybe that's why.)
I was pretty happy with 50 extra bars. =D

It was the Doctor's fault for sure. Did you look at your script? My doc prescribes me 3 meds (2 benzos and 1 opioid) and when I run out of one med early (having taken it as prescribed or a little bit more) I typically get a script for all 3 meds, albeit I ask only for one. I think it's common.

Pharmacies are unlikely to be as sloppy and irresponsible as doctors in my opinion even though they work differently here in Germany. If you run out of pills you have to get a new script from your doctor and you can't just get a refill from your pharmacy.

I could provide many examples of doctors completely messing up with my mostly psychoactive meds: Prescribing meds I only mentioned or suggested but didn't ask for or expected, asking me if he forgot to add med x I didn't ask for or mentioned before printing the script, accidentally doubling the dosage, giving twice the amount, skipping important facts in the documents from the hospital I was released before, for example that benzo x should be tapered down or stopped after week x...

One case was shocking. I was in a clinic specializing for psychosomatic pain (of course it was much less strict and bureaucratic than a prison-like psych-ward) and on arrival I had a conversation with two doctors and they asked what meds my docs prescribe me and why. I told them exactly what med and dose, lorazepam was one of them.
Later in the evening when the nurse handled out the meds I was surprised to hear nitrazepam was one of them. I knew much about benzos but wasn't so stupid to take advantage of it and so I protested. It turned out the two doctors screwed up big time. 8(
 
I probably don't need to tell you Phatass, but please be careful with those combinations. Mixing Methadone with benzo's is very dangerous.

That being said, I have NEVER had a "pleasant" mistake with my pharmacy(s). The mistakes they've made are too many to count though. I'm a quiet and polite person, but I've literally gotten into screaming fights with some of those OTC assholes.
 
just the opposite... ive been shorted 2 or 3 pills when i got a script for 120 lortab... all the somas were there though.

Yeah it's the same way here, you need a new script when you run out.
I didn't double check the prescription, but I really thought he wrote down only 2 things when writing the prescription. I could be mistaking here though.
Then again, the time they gave me a box of xanax bars at the pharmacy that I didn't get Rx'd anymore they did mess up big time. Seeing as they didn't even charge me for it. =D Not complaining though.
