Pharmacy not taking new pain patients
So a few weeks ago, I made a post that a grocery chain pharmacy, who I have been going to for over 2 years for my medication, told my Dr that they will no longer be filling any of her prescriptions. I was told by a lot of people on here that small, mom and pop pharmacies are the way to go. My dr even said that they are more lenient.
Not one small pharmacy that I contacted accepts new chronic pain patients! This caught me off guard because I was told other wise by a lot of people. The only pharmacy that said yes to me is Walmart. My prescription hasn’t been sent there yet so I haven’t experienced yet if I will have problems with them, but I’m shocked that all the pharmacies I contacted said no. It’s not even my fault I had to switch pharmacies…they just won’t take my Dr’s prescriptions.
Not only that, but my pain management dr pissed me off. I took my annual urine exam a few weeks ago. When I asked for my prescription yesterday, the receptionist told me no medication will be dispensed until I take a urine test. I explained to her that I already took it and she said no one did any notes. The person I gave my test to said that she remembers me taking it but no notes where completed so I have to take another one. I was pissed because I took it that day for a reason…because I couldn’t come in any other days. Eventually they said they will call my prescription in because of the mix up but when i’m in again, I have to take another urine test. I’m just so pissed off about the urine test and the pharmacy situation…makes me just want to be done with them and not get my meds at all because of the incompetence.
