Does pharmacies fax/report to your doc. for taking a refill?

[Toreadores]

Hey guys I don't know if its the right place to ask this question but I think it is the closest one relating it.

So few weeks ago my doc prescribed me Gabapentin for nerve pain. He told me to call him after 2-3 weeks to let him know if it's working or not. I can't say it didn't work but still I know the Lyrica is better one, so when I called I told him it doesn't help much and he prescribed me the Lyrica (even without mention anything about the drug). He prescribed me the Gabapentin with 1 refill. My question is if I go to Walgreens in my neighborhood after couple of weeks and take the refill, will Walgreens fax/report him that I took the refill? I want to have it just in case but I don't want next time I call my doc to say "you took the refill of Gabapentin I thought you said it's not helping". Anybody familiar with this kind of situation?

No, pharmacies dont report to doctors everytime a patient refills a medicine. Make sure you arent on Walgreens autofill system or it will attempt to fax the doctor when refills run out.

Op, I did the same thing with Gabapentin and Lyrica. Lyrica is barely controlled(IMO) schedule V and Gabapentin is uncontrolled. If Your doctor asks, you didn't know they were similar. Do not pull that stuff with benzodiazepines, amphetamines, opiates, etc. That is trouble.

lol I tried this exact thing with Gabapentin

my doctor must have revoked the script.

That is funny. My case happened by accident, so I just rolled with it. I get enough good stuff to ever try messing with the system.

I work in a drs office. They do not contact us for pt refills.
