Refilling My Xanax 4 Days Early (Page 2) (Top voted first)

I get xanax 1mg perscribed to me. On the lable it says take 1 to 2 a day as needed. I only receive 50 pills. I got it filled on 7.17 and today is 8.12. I use gateway insurance at a CVS pharmacy.

It has been 26 days if i am correct. That means if i take 1 pill a day thats 26 out of 50, 1.5 pill a day is 39 out of 50 and at 2 a day thats 52 out of 50.

Well wait, if i only have 50 pills, i cant take 52, which by refill date would 60 pills.

I have 2 refills left, i was wondering if i would have a problem getting them refilled, i have read insurance goes by the percentage of pills left. Well it depends on how you look at it depending on what i "should" have left...

Re: Chrissy (# 24)

Really, so Mom & Pop independent pharmacies routinely just don't follow Federal law like CVS might? Could you post the location of your pharmacy

For refilling, you use the larger dosage, in your case 2 per day. When you'd run out is when you can have it refilled. I don't want to do the math. You should just ask him if he'll write for 2 daily. Do you have auto refills on the current script. Technically, he wrote you 25 days worth since he allowed up to 2 per day. As to how early a refill before the 25 days are up is up to the pharmacist, usually as I'm sure you've read, 2-3 days. My Walgreen's since I moved is one day early. I always got them 3 days early before I moved.

Someone wrote something about different doctor, different scripts for same meds. If I'm correct, I think a script is valid for 6 months so I would do some math to max out the scripts. If 1 doctor wrote a better script, I would concentrate on those if there are refills. Plus, you don't want one doctor this month, a different one next month, then back to the other doc. Pharmacy will notice that and depending, could call your doctor if they think it looks fishy.

And then they'll cut you off and throw you in jail for 10 to 20, hard labor.

Hello, King! How are you?

Does the pharmacy label list the days supply? If so, then they expect it to last that long and will not refill before then.

This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.
