Does anyone know if there is a site that lists the Pharmacies and how much they will refill without any problems.

eg.walmart will fill up to 90 norco, anything over that and they call dr. to discuss alternatives. (Lowering the script, and physical therapy).

 
Actually they just filled a script for me that was 180 Norcos that was sent in electronically by my doctor and I was the only one who questioned it because it was a mistake. They were like "nope, it says 180" and I just said I guess I won't have to come back as soon as usual. 

I think that this is something that is unique to each pharmacy and even ones in the same chain will do things very differently.  One Walgreens near me refused to fill a script for maybe 15 or 20 Norco because it was after hours and they could not contact the dentist as I was the last oral surgery of the day. Despite my swollen face and mouth stuffed with bloody gauze the clerk seemed to take pleasure in denying me.

I have been to a different Walgreens near our largest ER and they had no problem filling scripts for percs or vikes in the middle of the night because I am sure they cater to the hospital crowd.

Even if there's a company policy, there is a big difference in how it's interpreted so I think trial and error is the only way to really know how they operate. I have also found that some will use the database and refuse a script that duplicates an earlier one in that month (Costco) and the above mentioned hospital Walgreens does not. 

Unless you are in a rural area where choices are few, it's a good idea to shop around and find the one with the best prices and least attitude. Sorry for taking your subject so wide of the topic! I just feel like I have tried them all and there is no consistency. 

 
@2EARLS, Thanks for the reply. I have spent so much time on the phone calling around. You are right, everyone has different policies, that also change from month to month. My Dr. is going to get pissed when each of his patients' pharmacies call to verify . Happened to me last month and she was forced to reduce each script by 10 pills. They call if it's over 90 tabs.(that sucks).

 
I agree @2earls for me cvs is a nightmare they will only fill so many a year despite the doc script .

i only filled a total of 15 tram Er since  jan over 3 refills cause of the cost ! Then cvs and easy script s said that's it u reached ur max refills for year !!! I still had 18 pills in their system !!!

i like krogers much better

  1. xenxra @ xenxra: @WTF7218 it may as well be that way with how little effort some of the people on here make to find information that's exactly where you would expect it to be.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  4. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  5. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  6. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
