Pharmacy wouldn't refill

I don't think it's "obvious" at all. The second place probably had second thoughts about getting involved in what could be easily perceived by the Feds as drug fraud. Either of these businesses could lose its pharmacy license and be forced out of business over what you consider a trivial matter. Neither knows you personally, so they don't know whether you are a drug-seeker or not; and the second one owes you no allegiance whatever, because you aren't their customer.

If you think you've been treated like you're "doing something wrong", it's just your perception. You need to step back and view the situation from the pharmacies' point of view. Would you risk your entire career/business to accomodate just one customer?

no, i wouldn't risk a liscence over something like this. but i also wouldn't mislead someone into thinking i'd do something to accomodate them and then not follow through. she told me she'd transfer it for me. period. the new pharmacy was willing to help and knew the entire story. i did not leave anything out. then the two of them talk, and everything has changed. i just don't agree with that. i am fine with her refusing to do something she's not comfortable with (well, it was their fault and that does bug me, but i do see her point). but telling me she'd do a transfer and then not following through upsets me.

i don't live my life that way. if i say i'm going to do something, i'll do it. and if what you say is true about the new pharmacy just basically not wanting to get involved,well, then my same complaint applies. they were more than willing to help when i spoke to them and told them the situation. then when the two pharmacists talk, something changed.

THAT is what has me upset. don't say you are going to do something and then not do it. period.
 
I don't think the pharmacy can give you that refill until the appropriate time has past from your first prescription filled. If you take too much of it they can be held legally responsible. You're most likely going to have to get a new prescription from your doctor if you don't want to wait out the cycle from your first prescription to your refill.

They shouldn't've been rude to you, but they probably get A LOT of people doing that for various reasons and have to cover their butts.
 
It is a schedule medicine,I think it has hydrocodone in it, so it can't be filled unless the Dr authorizes it, but your insurance won't pay for it. The pharmacy should have told you that and not told you to transfer it to another.
 
I know it's hard not to do, but you can't expect everyone in the world to do things the way you do them. Just because you perceive yourself as a standup citizen who would do the things you say you will doesn't mean everyone else will be that way, too. In fact, I'm sure it's been your experience that more often than not, it probably feels like you're the ONLY one doing that, am I right? So that's why a situation like this, while definitely annoying and frustrating, isn't all that surprising.

And the point still remains that there are rules in place for the dispensing of narcotic medication. Tussionex is a narcotic. I know for a fact that you would not get a replacement prescription without a doctor's approval, even if you found bugs floating in it. That's the rule with narcotic medications. There's not much you can do about that. And I have a feeling that perhaps the two people you were dealing with at both pharmacies were maybe not completely aware that this was a narcotic when they said they would refill it again for you. Just because they work in a pharmacy doesn't mean they know what every medication is or what it contains, which is why they rely heavily on their computers for that information.
