Like, I pick up my Morphine script every 14 days...today being that day :D, in an hour when they open....but, I'm ALWAYS in withdrawal to some degree when I go, usually moderate or severe...and I feel like they MUST notice I'm very pale and shaky and sweaty EVERY TIME? And I don't wanna be like "Sorry, I have the flu" [as I wipe sweat off my face and try to stop my nose leaking]...like how often can one have the flu?
Or do they probably think I'm just a disgusting chud who is perpetually snotty and sweaty and gross for no reason?
 
I would bet they think nothing of you and your script. At worst they think you’ve gamed the system and are on the lookout for any signs of diversion. At best, they think you’re a nice fellow with an unfortunate pain problem. But the likely explanation is that they don’t think of you at all.
 
practical worst case is likely to be they evaluate you and report back to your prescriber, if they're not asking you then you're under the radar, save a dose for collection day if you're that worried?

they shouldn't withhold though, needs to be a clinical decision I think.

there's also other real reasons why you might be in withdrawal, missed a dose, need to talk to your prescriber about increasing dosage, dependence on morphine.

I guess the question then is if they ask/or should you offer up, that you're using other opiods if you are, hmm depends on your prescriber I guess, how sympathetic are they to helping managing your withdrawal overall?
 
Of course pharmacists can tell. Some are annoying about it others can be even better than the doctor.

I would get my 300mg morphine 400mg pregab 30mg diazepam/day to that pharmacy in the middle of that rough area. It was secured scripts and machine controlled stocks as all my drugs where listed as actual drugs. She noticed I went down on the diazepam when waiting for the machine to sort the meds. She congratulated me saying it's great that I am on the good path. Almost left a tear. Then scored some cocaine and got the needles to shoot all of that.

I've had pharmacist that would snitch, others that wouldnt deliver scripts for some reasons. But they all know what it's all about
 
They’re probably more worried about the guy that’s back for the third time this week trying to fill another script of pain meds from a third different dentist

If you haven’t already been calling for two days trying to get it filled earlier then I wouldn’t sweat it…no pun intended
 
The suboxone is a dead tip off, yes ... Had to leave walgreens but I made a giant fool out of the pharmacist as he very curtly and quite loud "You don't like the service go get your FUCKING DRUGS SOMEWHERE ELSE" and this dude puts some heat on the bag with the bottles in it bounces it off the counter, I step out of the way....it hits and older gentleman in the stomach, mid 60s early 70s. I excuse myself pick them up off the floor -- Dude just looks stunned at what happened "Customer service aint what it use to be" and walks on. True story


On the other hand

No your pharmacist cannot tell and if they can that is 100% on you. These people are human pez dispensers with busy jobs and lives of they own, inspecting each customer will drive away business and they are smart enough to know that in most cases.

1. Dont call in early or make a scene at the counter
2. Dress decent
3. Dont show up visibly fucked up or in w/d's.
4. Don't take any shit

I don't know but that is roughly how I view them.

Story time and most of ya'll prolly heard this one but when I was first scripted temazepam some snot nosed disgusting chud of a pharm tech decided that 3 30's in a night was an unheard of dosage and all but accused me of forging the script. (Had no valid or legal reason not to) --- Doctor reamed his pez dispensing ass and told him that is absolutely not his position -- his position is to verify the script and fill it; give any information that I ask.... Not override the doctor and accuse me of a felony --- I tried so hard to get them to directly accuse me of forging it but there is CLEARLY an SOP on how to handle that. THAT FUCK LOST HIS JOB.

Now of course treat me with respect it is a two way street; LAST THING I WANT is to shitcan a working stiff-- they wanna cut throats let get pezzy, err petty. The actual pharmacist aint going anywhere but your contact with him/her/etc is pretty minimal?

Try erase those thoughts as "noise".

If you have a legit script then any "vibe" you are getting from any Pharmacist would be the "human factor" in my opinion.

Pharmacists have to take an updated version of the Hippocratic Oath named the Pharmacist Pledge/Promise, or similar in different countries.
This might make the above comment about the "human factor" clearer.

You got this, delete the noise if you can, it is a distraction. :cool: oh,,, read below... ;)

In taking this solemn oath / making this promise, I honour those who have supported my development as a pharmacist and commit myself never to act in a manner that is contrary to these vows.


Pharmacist: Signature: Date:


Sorry couldn't resist the bolding.
 
I stumble in hot and pissy in their disinfected perfect air condition,the are so nice and glad I just don't stink,they get some crazy clients in this town.I going to start getting delivery,they can be hot and pissy,crazy after an intense day.
 
I imagine if they scrolled through the last 20 years of my scripts, yeah, they fucking know. If they don't, they need a new line of work. :ROFLMAO:

When you have every major class of drugs in the list, Schedule II through V, spanning from 17 years old to almost 40, it's not a great look. When you've got barbiturates, MAT drugs, multiple high dose benzos at the same time, schedule II stimulants, etc etc, it can't be a great look. Lmfao
It probably looks good that I've only had gabapentin and tramadol as notable drugs for the last 10 years though!

Yeah... about that... except pharmacists these days are absolute CUNTS. They're like the "Karens" of the medical world. Just as bad as ER nurses. I actually had a Wal-Mart Karen PharmD hold my (non-controlled) gabapentin (that I desperately need for my literally broken neck with nerve damage that causes me debilitating cervicogenic headaches) for FOUR DAYS just because she wanted to. I pick up my script when the app texts me and tells me to, which is often several days early. Never been a problem. Well, no text came. So I called and asked when it would be ready and then she put me on blast saying I pick it up 2 to 5 days early every month so she will be holding it until the exact day it should be due. Then she held it for an extra day on top of that. And I had nothing to cover the withdrawals with at all. Now, I only take 1800mg/day, and I typically only take it in the evenings as that's when I run into neck issues with sleep, so the w/d wasn't terrible but it also wasn't fun and I did not sleep well for all 4 days. I was so pissed off about that. Even my doctor and his receptionist were putting them on blast three times over. It was completely petty, unnecessary, and put my life at risk. Why? "Just because."
