Just need to vent… I hate being treated like a criminal for the adderall prescription I’ve taken for years, for a diagnosis I got after a lengthy and involved process of differential diagnosis. Called my usually friendly pharmacy about filling my prescription before I go out of town (as directed by my doctor). They almost bit my head off and acted disgusted that I was asking. And I’ve had similar experiences with doctors in the past too. I wish it wasn’t so hard.

It sucks but there are pretty stringent rules. I think in my state they won't fill any earlier than 3 days. Still, though, there's no need for nastiness. Sorry you experienced that.

For sure, where I am I just needed the pharmacist to authorize it to fill a few days early, which my doctor specifically told me to ask them. They didn’t even respond to the authorization question, just yelled that they don’t have my prescription (though I’ve been filling it with them for 3 years).

Change pharmacist ? Sorry you’re going through this

Yup ridiculous. I've been taking this since I was 7.

In my state they can only write a 30 day script and you cannot refill until after 27 days have passed.

They also treat me as-if I’m a criminal, despite having no criminal record, a fantastic resume, etc etc.
