i mean, why should they bother about promethazine ? It may have associations with other drug use, but is not classified in any way atall as far as i know, and they are just being overly officious jobsworths by refusing to dispense promethazine.
Look on the packaging and you'll see a 'P', meaning that they are supposed to be cautious about whom they give it to.
It's not so much the druggies using it to help them get off, but people dying accidentally from cocktails of prescription and OTC drugs. Which happens far more often than you might think.
Of course, my standard line is to (truthfully) answer 'lithium' when they ask what other drugs you're taking.
It tends to make them want to shut up and try to appease you.
