Refilling My Valid Xanax Prescription Early (Page 29)

I only see one doctor and he gives me a 3 month supply of xanax. When I went the last time he wrote me out a prescription but I still had two refills. I had a friend and her husband passed away and I gave her some of mine thinking I would have no problem re-filling the prescription. I had sense enough not to go to the same pharmacy and not to give my insurance information. So I go to this small drug store by my house and I had to fill out paperwork such as dob, name and my DL #. Well they paged me to the front of the store and advised me that it was 7 days to early for them to re-fill. So my question is where can I go to re-fill a prescription that is valid written by the same doctor. I only tried one place, I'm guessing they must have a data base if you try and refill your prescription early (even without your insurance) does anyone have advice on where I can go to get this filled?

No wonder you NEED more. If there was ever a drug that's a rollercoaster ride, going up and down, etc, etc, it's Xanax. 6MG a day is absurd. Needing more than that is just ridiculous. No wonder you FEEL like you need more. Xanax is as dangerous as heroin with its short lifespan. You basically NEED to take 1mg every 3 hours just to maintain your sanity. That gives you 1 mg every 3 hrs while you're awake..... assuming you sleep 6 hrs a night.... taking 1 as soon as you wake up as well as 1 at bedtime. Now if that's not an addiction, I don't know what is. Get some help because one of these days, with the amount you take, and still seeking more, someone's gonna cut you off and if you think your anxiety's bad now... Time to slowly titrate to Klonopin. You won't 'FEEL' anything when you take it like you do with Xanax, due to its long half-life, but it'll keep your anxiety under control. And it'll allow you to lead a sane life. Good luck to you.

I wouldn't necessarily b**** about CVS in this matter. In the last 2 years, CVS has had the FDA looking over their shoulder with a microscope. I used to be able to renew Lunesta online, now I have to call in and talk to a real person before they send it out to me.

Never be honest to doctors, they f*** you nowadays. They worry more about their job than they do their patient... Doctors are now all about their job and do not care one bit about us.

It'll be hard getting it filled anywhere as everyone knows everything these days when it comes to prescription matters (everything's electronic, even for mom and pop pharmacies), especially when it's for a controlled substance. They HAVE to cover their backs due to all the abuse of meds in the country and don't want to accept any responsibility. If you're on a medicare part D program, your Dr's able to get a 'prior authorization' or 'quantity limit override' if you need it.

Iam ting to figure out Rita aid's ways and how early the fill there Benzo's I know pharmacys have to fill a t least 2 to 4 day early it all depends on the pharmacist or who's working that day.... so if anyone knows anything about Rite Aid and their two men mg Xanax refill I would love to know how many days early they will fill thank you in advance

Rite Aid has now become a last day refill pharmacy. If you complain they might fill it with two days left but they actually keep a numerical score on you which is printed on the paperwork given, how things have changed

Re: EDDY (# 569)

They have a 3-day I work for the Rite Aid Pharmacy.... They do this because of the DEA they watch every move on patients getting scripts filled as well as the pharmacy....The pharmacy can get a huge fine if the fill to early. And cause many other problems.... Plus people overdose on these type of drugs daily... There should be know reason why you need your scripts early... Drugs are prescribed a certain dose for a reason... If the dose your getting is not helping you anymore try to talk to your doctor... Or find a new one... Most doctors worry about there license so don't want to give out opiates or narcotics anymore... I don't agree how they are now days they don't care about there patients anymore... Good luck....

You must try to find a doctor that actually cares about there patients.... Not there license only.... Yes there are many overdoses... So the dea has been very strict on doctors.... So you really need to just keep trying to find a doctor that actually cares and that is VERY hard to do... But they are out there look hard you will eventually find one.... Good luck

Re: Bonnie (# 561)

Go and see a doctor who is caring and stop cry like a baby here asking anyone to fix your angina , this is dangerous behaviour, and also involve many in a form of some debate and confusion, if you have multiple issues you go and see a consultant who is heart Spesialist and ask him to check you out , for angina some give CARDIZEM a calcium Chanel blocker , to relax the vains of spasm , and as for Xanax cut slow down. Or use fluoxetine known as Prozac , is serotonin uplifting, some of those work as uppers some as downers , AXIT works as downner prozac as an upper everyone is different, my advise found a good doctor and ask him to help you , avoid self treatment

I work for Rite Aid Pharmacy and it's 3 days early -not a day sooner... That's only because the dea made this rule.

Re: nicole (# 570)

Some people don't have a Car or are able to get around so that could be a reason for getting them filled early. Of course as we know it really doesn't matter for them. Can you tell us what that Customer Score Rite Aid uses actually means?

Re: nicole (# 573)

Thank you so very much for the information, I was curious because I've been on Alprazolam 2mg for over 18 yrs now and never had to fill early and I'm due to refill Oct 11th and we wanted to leave on a trip on the 9th, so you don't think I'll have a problem going in Monday the 9th that morning to refill my script. Well my fingers are crossed and I really hope Rite Aid will allow me to fill 2 days early... Thank you again Nicole. It's very much appreciated ;)

So are you saying that WAL-MART will fill a 30 day Rx on Day 27?? That would be so helpful for a couple of my Rx's.

Re: Audgie (# 575)


I would think that IF you call them & explain that you're going on vacation they can fill it tomorrow Oct. 9th.

Sheesh, sounds like my apt. building. I get most everything delivered and my disability makes it hard to go several floors down to the mailboxes. We have notices up in 3 places over the mailboxes, and delivery people still leave boxes anywhere they please. They're supposed to call on the intercom, get buzzed in, and either come up, or you go down. They still do whatever they want. Had a refill of a scheduled med. stolen, and really had a hard time with explaining that! Never had scheduled meds mailed again. Now you have to pick them up in person anyway and sign for them.

I live fairly close to another state. I have chronic pain and needed my script early because I was going on vacation. I went to the other state and told them I had no insurance. I had to pay full price, but got what I needed.
