I look for any and all types of information regarding this subject. As you can see my name implies exactly the "right"way to do this life style. Every month I easily and effortlessly detox myself when I see I am about to run into some dry days. How I do this, is topic for another day. I can say that you can live a fully functional ( eh? ) life when you take meds and or other vices. You just can't be a lazy idiot. If youve ever been sick you know what Im talking about. However on to the topic at hand. Pharmacists. Yes we hate them. My mother whom I take care of is terminally ill and disabled and also takes pain meds. Anyone who is anyone knows if you are 'scribed 'scripts there is no way in hell you are able to follow it to the letter ALL the time. Such is the case some months with my poor mom.
Her script for roxxicodone for the most part is usually filled on the 30 day mark. However some months she runs out 1 to 2 days early. She decided to try and get a refill early. Kroger wasnt having it. Well, at least without them saying "as long as your dr says its ok". The script is always written what I call "open ended" which means theres no fill date on it. This is generously done by my moms cool dr in case she needs it a little early. My mom isnt much of a fighter so when she gets told no, she usually just takes it and shuts up and suffers. I however, aint having it. Longer story short, I took her in person to a LOCAL small pharmacy run by an older man and a cool staff. No questions. No bullshit. We walked in gave it to them, told them what we wanted. The ONLY question they asked us? "Would you like easy open or regular caps on the bottle?"
Got the fill, left and that was that. JUUUUUUUST to be an asshole, I called Kroger and told them we wouldnt be needing their services any longer. We had been filling there for over 10 years and spent LOTS of money and more money was to come too. Fuck em! When they asked was there a problem, I kindly told them several things:
1. If the script already says dates on it, or rather lack of...its YOUR ( the pharmacists ) choice as to fill it. By saying, "as long as the dr says its ok" tells me you dont want to. The script in this instance is the dr already saying yes, thats why its written the way it is...
2. The DEA LEGALLY allows early refills on controlled substances as long as 2 criteria are met : First, it cant be longer than 3 days from fill time. Second, as long as 80% of the medication is used. I dont know why dr's and pharms act like they dont know this...
Support your LOCAL small town pharmacy. They actually run them like the old days and how they are SUPPOSED to!
