It's pretty obnoxious how pharmacies and especially pharmacists have this kind of discretion. Just put my pills in the bottle, dude.

I got turned down for filling an Adderall prescription at a CVS because the pharmacist didn't like that I was paying in cash (credit card) as an uninsured uni student. Didn't offer to call my doctor's office to confirm the script. Just said oh, I don't like that you're paying in cash so I'm not going to fill this :).

I fortunately get 90-day prescriptions (how long will that last?) and every time I refill, I have anxiety throughout the whole process (the checkup, the pharmacy) until I have pills in hand. Every time I feel like it's going to be the day I somehow have to jump through more hoops like my friend who has to have his pills counted every two weeks for his painkillers.



I'm jealous, my insurance will do 90 day fills on everything but methylphenidate.
