Pharmacist Refusing To Fill My Script Of Suboxone. What Do I Do??? (Page 7) (Top voted 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????

Ash,

I feel you on that. That's vile treatment and they should respect that you are trying to move forward with your life. I'm guessing you don't feel like it. But when you do, fire a letter of complaint off. It'll empower you. And may give them a thinking point. Good luck :)

Hi Kat, I don,t know what state Roane County is in but if you can get to a CVS pharmacy or a Rite Aid pharmacy and you have a proper ID they should be able to fill it. If you don,t have insurance tell them upfront your paying with cash. Some pharmacys will break up a prescription like sell you a weeks worth if you don,t have all the money at one time. You could try getting a hold of Dr. who wrote prescription and maybe he could call a pharmacy. If all else fails maybe you could go to ER at hospital with your ID and prescription and tell them whats happening. Possibly they could fill it there. I don,t know for sure. Good Luck.

I don't understand? They won't fill because you're a new customer of the pharmacy? I've never had an issue like that or heard of it. If that's the real reason they gave it isn't credible, or possibly legal, what pharmacy is this, a large chain or small privately owned business?

Even though they feel as if a recovering addict is somehow less than a normal patient these treatments are getting ridiculous. Plenty of people are also prescribed suboxone and methadone for pain management and I've heard they've been treated as addicts are as well. It's not okay for anyone to treat you badly for getting your life together. Employees and companies have corporate, state and federal oversights, you need to stand up for yourself!

Hi,Cee Cee, Some people can be real jerks. If that ever happens again ask to speak to there manager. If they are the manager ask to speak to there superior. You could also call the main company. No one should be treated rudely.

I live in SC as well and you're right - once I started dealing with a local pharmacy rather than a big chain, my experience improved a lot. Of course they're still weird, but I guess there's no avoiding that. I just don't understand what difference filling the script one day early makes in the great scheme of things. I'm having to postpone going on vacation next week because of this (because if you've ever had to deal with getting your script filled in another state, I know from experience it's not worth the headache).

Oh dear Jaime, I'm too sorry to hear you're dealing with this! Gosh. Dang it! Nothing can be done about it at this point. You pretty much own it so no reason to deny you screwed up and you're SO sorry! I know this, you know it & your Dr knows it(?) Could you go to your Dr explain what the pharmacy is doing to you? I don't think I'm really clear on why the pharmacy even gave you the three days worth in the first place. What reason did you give your dr for needing the script early? Depending on that, perhaps you could explain to her what the pharmacy is doing to you and could she either give you a new script for a month or give you a script for the amount the pharmacy owes you. Then I'd hightail it over to your new pharmacy. Secondly, I don't know as I'd have right off the bat given a dissertation as to the fact ït's early so I'll be paying cash". Might've been better to say nothing and let the script go thru the channels, you never know, if all your stars where in line and the moon was in gemini……it's a long shot I know but things happen! Once last year I took my adderall script in 5 days early, it was weirdly dead quiet in the pharmacy. The pharmacist took my script. I didn't say anything to the her but stood there at the window while she typed into the computer, after 60 seconds I quietly said ït's a few days early, I hope it goes thru" Couple seconds later she goes "it went thru!!". "It DID?!" I exclaimed. She gives me this big smile, fills the script & I'm on my way in ten minutes! God, I love that woman. LOL For future reference, have you ever heard of a vacation override? A vacation override in regards to your insurance that is! Your Dr obviously had no problem giving you the script a week early, no? Once or twice a year, depending on your insurance carrier, you can call the patient rep for the Rx dept explain you're going to some tropical island like um… St Maartin or Kitts or even that you're going to Disney World with your kids/grandkids. Because you can't get that stuff filled out of state and you must have it & it's once lifetime trip for you, you're gonna need your medication filled early. Be prepared to say what date you'll be returning and be prepared to make sure the date is well beyond the date you'll run out of the medication. Usually if the Dr and Insurance co approve it, you can talk the pharmacist into it. Lastly, and this is no lecture but if you're running out early perhaps it's time to reassess your medication as it's no longer working as well as before. Best of luck to you Jaime!
