Tired of my pharmacy. Every single month I have to call the pharmacy for my Adderall, they say they don’t have any prescriptions for me, they ask for additional information, they magically find it, and then I have to wait like 1 to 8 hours to have it filled. It’s a pointless phone call. Why do I have to repeat these shenanigans every month?! Is it just Rite Aid? Is CVS any better? So irritating.

CVS pulls the same shit with another prescription I have filled monthly. I’ve had conversations with the pharmacist about it, but the problem persists. They give no fs. Sorry 😞

Unfortunately, CVS is no better. I have to jump through half a dozen hoops every time I get my scripts filled each month too. It's so frustrating and only makes me feel less in control, which sets me off. Ugh!

I don’t think you can do 90 days at a time with Adderall under any circumstance.

Walgreens has been the best for me for this. Most retail pharmacists I know have said CVS is probably the slowest. Unknown re rite aid

Aw, that's so frustrating! Ugh, it sounds like it's the staff at that particular pharmacy that's the problem because the Rite Aid where I live is great. I suggest trying CVS or other pharmacies in your area to see if you have a better experience. Good luck :)

Safeway pulls the same shit too. I’m so frustrated that I have to remember to make so many phone calls every month, meet resistance and have to remember to pick up in the 2 day window. It literally makes no sense they make people who take the medication because they struggle with executive functioning do something that requires such a high level of executive functioning!!!! That’s like making a cardiac patient run a mile and eat a stick of butter before giving them meds or something. It’s so frustrating.

Yeah same for the 90-day quantity. So annoying.

Your neighborhood pharmacy is a better bet. Also it’s better to support them anyway!

Need to see if we have then over here. I would love to abandon the big corp BS

Try to find an independent pharmacy that takes your insurance. Their whole thing at the moment is customer service.

Our local pharmacy (Bartell Drugs) was bought by Rite Aid and ever since then it’s been a complete shit show. I need to switch pharmacies but the idea of trying to do that is daunting.

That’s the big PBMs vertically integrating. Support your local pharmacies before there aren’t any left!!

I would try CVS if your insurance is in netowrk. I have never used Rite Aid but I NEVER have issues with CVS.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
