I’m in the process of switching pharmacies and accidentally made myself look like a drug seeking lunatic 🙃My doctor sent in refills for prescriptions that weren’t ready to be refilled (one was a controlled substance) but the app told me they were filled, so I wasn’t sure and asked about it, and they were like “no! We can’t give you those yet!” Then I discovered my doctor made a mistake when attempting to increase my dose of another controlled substance and therefore I couldn’t get it filled. Plus I was dropping off a prescription for yet another controlled substance, and then I find out that 2 different doctors sent in prescriptions for the same medication in different doses, so the pharmacists were like WTF?
Oh yeah, and they then had to do a consultation for my Naltrexone, which is pretty much only used for treating opioid addiction (and occasionally alcoholism) and I had to be like “well, I’ve been on it for a while since they gave it to me in rehab.”
So every pharmacy tech was looking at each other like “well the girl in the pink furry jacket with sunglasses is definitely an insane drug addict.”
Also, it would be rad if the pharmacists didn’t yell what prescriptions I was picking up while there are a bunch of people around, I’d rather not get mugged in the parking lot, thanks.
Love,
Your friendly heavily medicated neighborhood junkie.
Comment Update:
I definitely feel like I missed a great opportunity while they were asking me if I understood my Naltrexone to interrupt them and just be like “yeah I know this is an opioid antagonist, you know what, while we’re at it can I get some Narcan too?” just to really solidify that 【ＤＲＵＧ ＡＤＤＩＣＴ ＡＥＳＴＨＥＴＩＣ】
