ARG!!! I tried to refill my Rx for Imitrex yesterday so I could get it before my trip to Minnesota on Monday (which is a holiday). CVS wouldn't refill it saying that the Dr.'s instructions indicated I couldn't take more than 9 tabs per month so my fill of 18 is a 2 month supply. I explained that this was a mistake, that I can treat 9 days, with up to 2 tabs per day so my fill of 18 is actually a one month supply. And this month I actually did that several times.

The rude woman at the pharmacy told me that she couldn't help me, I would have to call my doctor and hung up on me! I knew it was their mistake but clearly they were not about to look into it. I called my doc's office and, of course, he was already gone for the long holiday weekend and wouldn't be back until Wednesday. But I left a message and was told that if one of the other headache docs in the office decided to, they could return my call. About 5:30pm, a lovely doc I had spoken to before called and she offered to call the pharmacy and clear it up, because the Rx clearly stated it was for 9 days/2 per day, not 9 tabs.

Obviously whoever took down the info decided 9 days and 9 tabs meant the same thing, made the change and in the process completely screwed me over.

I got a call back from the doctor about a half hour later.  Apparently the pharmacy put her on hold for 20 minutes and she finally just gave up and left a message. She wished me luck and suggested I find a new pharmacy. I had already had that thought myself. This is the 3rd time they have screwed up my drugs and I've only lived here for 2 months. Of course I have to get this refill fixed before I can do any switching so the error doesn't follow me. As far as I'm concerned this is their 3rd strike and I just have no confidence in their attention to detail. Hopefully I can find someplace that will take my special requests.

Ever have a period of time when it feels like every little thing goes wrong? That's sort of how I'm feeling right now.
