OK I have just a couple of questions/comments. Assuming your script was for 30 days, it is time to refill on the 28th Saturday day 25. You still have 5 days of meds to last until your script should be needed. So if its sent on Monday day 27 of the original script, you should recieve by Tuesday day 28 of your original script. You STILL have TWO days of meds left. The way I figure it out you should not run out of meds until March 4th (Thursday) which is day 30 of your last script. So what is the problem???? You will have your script on Tuesday and you should not run out of meds until Thursday from last refill.
Things like this is what will shut down our only source for the relief we need to live somewhat normal lives. There is clearly NO REASON for an early refill unless you took more meds than prescribed thus your meds did not last 30 days. Now if you need to raise your number of meds scripted say if you are recieveing 90 every 30 days to 120 evry 30 days, Dr Lockridge is a FINE doctor and if med records show that you should need that many or you tell him that you have been experiencing more pain(assuming that you are recieving pain meds)than usuall I'm sure he could increase the amount scripted for 30 days, thus not needing an early refill.
We need to do our math and realize that OP's may not be here for us forever. With all the problems in the media we need to show on these boards(you know big brother is every where)that we abide by the OP's and doctors instructions. But your post accutually helps prove that when a patient asks for an early refill, THEY ARE REFUSSED so this is good for big brother to read to prove they are operating an upstanding and law abiding OP so they can move on to the pill mills that are drawing bad attention to all of us!!

if I stepped on anyones toes with my post.
Southwestmedicalgroup is a fine OP with very caring customer service and the pharmacy delivers without a hitch.
Sorry, I just saw thos post. That's not the point. The point is the notice on the website explaining if the refill date falls on a weekend, they will ship to arrive on or bfore the 25th day. If they can't do that fine, take off the notice.
The problem was not running out early with me, the problem was strictly a matter of convenience. It was not a desperate situation, I agree. I just asked for an explanation on why they say this on the site and then send a one line email telling me when the script can be shipped and do not bother to explain what the notice on their site actually means. That's all.
According to their website and that notice, I was NOT asking for an early refill. I have NEVER asked for an early refill.
It's no big deal and I was admittedly having a bad day when I posted that. I do apologize. I should not have said this service was not good. They are. I was just trying to juggle a very difficult schedule that involves a lot of time away from home lately.
