I have been going to the same pharmacy for about 3 years now. Never a problem , very nice guy. It is a fairly large, busy "mom and pop" pharmacy. Ok, out of no where- I pick up my script, and there are people everywhere- the pharmacist gave me an attitude and I felt very uncomfortable. He knows my problems and is usually very understanding. As I am walking out, he yells out loud my name and also very loud says "Karen, yeah, take it day by day (isn't that what they say to addicts or something-I didnt get that) and" you really need to stop taking this medication soon you know!!" and "you cant be on it forever"!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so shocked and embarressed I went over to him , told him that I just got back from my DR. and then I could feel tears so I turned away and said I will talk to you the next time and ran out. (And by the way my Dr says I will be on pain meds probably the rest of my life-I go to pain management). I didnt tell him that because so many people were waiting and it is none of their business either, and most of all I was in complete shock.
But he totally has no judjement on what I take. My Dr prescribes it and I feel he TOTALLY broke the ethics law. He is the pharmacist and I have no insurance on prescriptions, I have been a legit loyal customer of his for years now.
I am going to file a complaint. A close friend of mine who also suffers from chronic pain was in aww when I told her. She told me to definately file a complaint, I called her hysterical. I have never felt so degraded. She thinks that I can actually sue him which I would never do, but I am filing a complaint with the state board and never going back there again after I pick up my antibiotic the Dr called in for strep throat.
I have been depressed and he made me feel like a piece of S****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cried all day and am even right now. Please if anyone had this happen to them, respond- is this right on his part. I have been in a wrong state of mind and actually the depression is kicking in big time. I have never experienced this type of depression, I do not want to get out of bed.

He made me feel like a loser!!! Am I a big loser because I need medication to function due to my injuries?????? PM me even. I read online about the code of ethics and pharmacists must obide by them. He humiliated me and had no right to give me advice as my Dr is the Dr not him. Sorry for rambling, but I just cant get over it. The worst, I have to pick up an antibiotic there tomorrow and that is the last visit, I am ashamed to walk in there......

Thanks and any support/input will be so greatly appreciated.
I need it and support will make me feel normal. I lovethis forum and everyone here. I need you guys now, thanks in advance.
