Pharmacist Refusing To Fill My Script Of Suboxone. What Do I Do??? (Page 11)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I wet to my doc 7 days early because of running out early. I took my new script to pharmacy and said, this is early so I won't be using insurance. My doc said you can call him if necessary. Well no one wanted to. They filled two per day for three days. On the third day I asked to fill the rest on insurance for the next day. I was one day early. When I called the next morning to have my daily two filled the pharmacy manager said no we won't be filling it for another 5 days. Go to the ER for your withdrawals but don't come here because I won't give it to you. Has this happened to anyone else????

Dear God don't ever alter your prescription lol. Unless you want a felony case. Just take a half a strip instead of the whole one for two days, you'll be fine!

Hi I just got my weekly script of suboxone of suboxone 16mg a day but the issue is I was going every Tuesday but my doc is now seeing me every Monday and wrote my script for the 12 strips rather than my usual 14 bcuz I should still have two left but I don't so I leave the office with my two boys and gf And we walk and its pooring so I go to a different pharmacy and the pharmacist don't fill it due to the "law" but I asked if my insurrance would cover it and she said yes they would fill but she won't its the law now I took the script back so I can take it to my pharmacy rite aid wich I pretty sure they will fill it but she wrote on it and she acted rude like I'm a drug head but f her Idc but can I scribble the date she the pharmacist wrote on it and take it to my pharmacy like I should have in the first place.??

Don't call the pharmacist asking for more until it's approved to be filled. If you've read the last twenty posts you'll already know we're already treated like crap just having the script, what do you think it's going to make you look like calling in three or four days earlier. Now if it's only because you get PARTIAL fills ,when paying out of pocket, like I only buy a weeks worth at a time if I can't afford the whole month so i can get the remainder filled anytime. If that's your problem then you don't need to wait. If your taking too much there's no point suboxone doesn't make you high, if it does give a buzz it has a ceiling effect. With suboxone less is more.

And you said you have subtex, take one a day when you run out. Not really sure what the issue really is here..

Honestly I feel the same way you do! Suboxin makes me feel normal! I have a 17 ur history of pills, and just about everything else and I am only 32. I have been on suboxin for about a little over a year. Just last month is when I got into my first sub dr. I was givin one when I was going through bad withdrawals and it helped ALOT! I am living proof that this med is a life saver! My life has totally changed since I been on subs! It took me a while to get the nerve up to even call a sub dr to get an appt, bu when buying them off the streets was getting a little too much for me that's when I said call this dr see what happens well I called and they said they would call me back well a few days pass by and the nurse called me to tell me I got a appointment. I was the happiest ever. Some of these dr are hard to get into. Well I was so nervous sitting in the dr office. So they make me do a drug panel and I go in and talk to the dr, this dr is the best! It feels so good to me to sit down with a dr and tell him everything! I told him that the only way I can explain how I feel is "normal" I finally feel normal! I am only on 8 mg a day but I can't fill for 6 more days and I don't have enough to last me the 6 days! I'm debating if I should call the pharmacy tomorrow and just ask. I have a few subutex to stretch but I don't know what to do.

This has happened to me a lot when I was given an increase for one month they wouldn't honor the fact it was an increase and made me wait another five days. My pharmasist treats me like I'm a crack head. But I use insurance and I live in a better neighborhood than he does. I'm on it for pain relief I can't take other prescribed pain relievers. But he sees me as a drug addict and I should tell him why I need this but really it's none of his damn business.

Was it suboxone that you're trying to refill?? I've dealt with some stigma from my medication too, had one pharmacy tell me they don't carry it because they don't want people like that frequenting their business. Forgetting the fact suboxone is prescribed for BOTH opiate addiction and pain management.

Apparently addicts trying to get and stay clean are horrible, less then human standard, patients undeserving of help.

Also was pulled over for a taillight out and while rummaging through my purse for my wallet the officer spotted my prescription bottle, apparently with hawkeye he spotted they were suboxone demanded to detain me in his cruiser while persisting that because of my sub script I undoubtedly had a H problem and commenced to prying off my door panels in my car. All I had on me was pizza and wings, H free lol. Never touched the stuff in my life. He demanded to know why I was prescribed it, I politely stated that my medical histories/diagnosis was absolutely none of his business and filed a successful complaint.

My point being-Do NOT let people treat you less then because of THEIR ignorance. Please reply back with the details, I would love to help you file a complaint if there's a violation.

No he can't. He can refuse to fill it and contact our Dr. The only way he can void it is if u tried to alter it. As ash said, wat r the details

Awesome, hun. Hope it works out but i get days where I can just take four mgs a day for two weeks straight and be just dandy but then I'll have a cpl days in a row where I'll want to take 12 mgs or even more sometimes. I just went bk to doc yesterday and he was prescribing me from 12 mg day to eight mg for about three months, yesterday he started me on 3/4 a day now. I never have a problem with any less then a half but after that, weaning I mean I know I'm going to have a problem. I notice when I don't take anything sometimes I feel more like my old self. You're right though cuz if I know I at least have them, then i don't have any anxiety pr anything but if I know I'm running out or low forget it, I wanna gobble them up. It's just like with dope, cuz we're cracked out on this now...ugh.

Terisita, You cannot mix other opiates with Suboxone. You will either get deathly sick with withdrawals or you won't feel anything at all. You and others must remember that the drug, SUBOXONE is meant to stop people from using opiates. Its primary purpose is not for pain or to make you feel high on. It was made for people who have been chronic relapsers and cannot stop using opiates.

I don't know how or why butwalgreens filled my suboxone today. 4 days earlier then they said they would. I was getting ready to go to the Er. I thought id lose my job for calling in sick. Now I'm giving them to my best friend And she's giving me my daily dose so i don't over take. Thank God..

I will try that.I've also found the more i take the more i want. So like this am i didn't take any and I'm feeling ok exvept the anxiety but if i had my script i probably would have taken at least 8mgs by now, i really don't understand that half life stuff but I'm hoping having a lot in my system help me to be ok for a day or 2 before. Need to take a half. Its just my brain is saying just take them I'm fighting it. . i may have to go to er eventually for the withdrawal but I'm not sure if they do anything. Once an er gave me a dose there. One actually have me a script. One told me they couldn't do anything ( ive been in them for years ) i was hoping to.fnd some opiate just to keep tho. Worse of the withdrawls away.

I've noticed, not sure if it's just me, but if I stick to just four mgs a day I'm perfect, anything over that and I want more. When you get refilled try that out see how it works, kind of curious see if it's like that for othes. Seemed like I could've weaned easier earlier on, now I feel like the longer I go its going to be much harder. ..

Terista, do you know anyone that could cover a couple for you until you get yours filled? It may sound bad but I try to make a couple friends that get theirs filled a week or two before me and if they run out I spot them then vice versa. If you have any connections see if they know anyone who gets rid of them. Other then that keep doing what you're doing and stretch them out as much as possible...subs a long half life so you shouldn't really feel sick just maybe some anxiety. Let us know how it turns out for you!
