I recently discovered the advantages of unshared prescription info between states. I had a prescription with four refills from Chicago. I had one refill left. I took the original bottle (that said 4 refills) to a CVS in Virginia, and they gave me a bottle with three refills on it. I have already used another. This is great. I thought I would need another doctor's visit, but instead I got three more months of medication. Now I regret that I did not keep some of my original bottles. I will start doing that from now on. It is not dishonest, just bring in the first bottle and ask for a refill. I just hope VA and IL do not start talking.
