Correct on the 6 month issue. There are only a couple of states that will restrict it lower than 6 months, but the feds say six months. I would disagree on 'losing' the 2 refills. Speaking only to CA law here, but you can refill as many times a month as you want (within reason folks), unless the doctor restricts the time between refills. Not wise to push them too close together, but refilling a week or two before you run out is ok. Most of the time the pharmacy will tell you that it is a "refill too soon", but that only refers to the insurance company's policy about paying for it. If you offer up cash, the only way they can withhold your script is if they call the doc and get permission to withhold or call LE because they suspect fraud. The latter RARELY happens here now thanks to HIPPA and the street level LE have little training in handling these types of calls anyway.

No time to proof this, sorry for an goofs.
