Prescription Dilemmas

Recently I had cancelled my Xanax prescription 2mg/2× due to the fact that they change the person I am. I have been prescribed Valium as well. I called my doctor to ask for a refill of the Valium, telling him I had cancelled the Xanax script. He must have misheard me and called in a script for Ativan .5/2× day. I picked up the ativan and called the doctor and left a message right away. I had the Ativan for two days and instead of taking the .5 2x I had taken 2mg twice a day due to the fact that is what the maintanence dose for anxiety is. My doctor called in the Valium for me but the pharmacist wants my ativan prescription back. There are 16 pills missing and there should only be 4 gone. Question is 1. do I explain this to the pharmacist 2. Is he allowed to do this 3. Should I just wait a week before going to pick up the valium? Thanks for any and all input. New user to the forums. I don't abuse my medications but I'm not dealing with anxiety when my doctor messes up.

I had a Doctor berate me and ask for my Ativan back as I couldn't stand it and asked to be changed back to Xanax. He was a real creepy Doctor from Puerto Rico. Asked me why I filled them if I didn't take them. A couple months later he left town to peddle Ritalin in Florida and I almost died of a Xanax withdrawal because I refused to take the Ativan. In any case I don't think the Pharmacy can ask for something you purchased back?
