Cvs No Longer Caries Ritaln Prescription/generic???

I was informed by one of the pharmacists at the pharmacy window at the CVS in Medford, ny that they no longer carry this medication. Is that true? They have filled my scripts in the past and have even told me a few times that they wouldn't have it in for a couple days but they never said they no longer carry it. It is odd to me because it's a common medication. Even though I am prescribed ritalin, they usually always give me the generic. So I imagine they were referring to both. Does anyone know this to be true? I have tried to search this on the Web but have only found horror stories of CVS pharmacy ' s customer service and denying meds, nothing about them saying they don't have it anymore.

Hello, Cyndi! How are you?

Im sorry, but I haven't found any information on this, either.

Have you tried asking at another CVS?

No, I didn't. This was the only CVS that always had that medication on back order. I did, however, call a couple days later and ask them about it and they explained that they DO still fill the medication but it has been on back order for a while now and that may be why the pharmasist said they don't have it anymore (??). I didn't really make a big stink about it, nor did I go into detail about how I felt about the pharmasist telling me false information. I think I will just go to Walgreens across the street the next time I need to fill my meds.. The whole thing just gave me an uneasy feeling. I felt judged since I am aware that some people abuse Ritalin and I feel embarrassed now that they may think that of me. I have never went in there looking like garbage (lol) nor like Im ready to go to a club. Maybe I'm just thinking into it too much but why would they say that and lose a customer that had been using their pharmacy since I can remember??? Plus, I have a daughter that is usually with me whenever I have to pick up or drop off perscriptions and I am a darn good mommy and don't want people looking at me or her for that matter and making false judgements! In my search for answers on the internet, I came across so many other posts and comments of people having similar incounters and I just don't even feel like putting myself in that predicament. It seems they make a lot of unecessary judgements and its not something a non addict cares to waste time with! Rather go somewhere that has pharmasist that care about their customers instead of trying to be a hero by dismissing people that actually use it as perscribed and NEED it! (sorry for any misspelled words) lol
