I had the exact smae thing happen to me at Walgreens too! I had a script for Vicoden 5/500 30 tabs, taking 2 every 6 hours. I also had two refills. I had the original script filled on a tuesday, I went in on Saturday to get my refill. Now 6 pills a day for 5 days equals 30 dosen't it?
When I asked for my refill, they also told me it was too early. I told them that I was not taking too musch, I was taking the amount prescribed on the label. 30 pills would last 5 days. They said I would have to wait 14 days to get my refill. I was mad and panicked that I would run out. When I got home, I went online and requested a refill that way at another Walgreens store. I got it filled on Sunday with no problems. Now why did he fill it with no problems or comments, while the other pharmacist wouldn't? I think that it depends who you go to. I think that they are using their own judgement system with narcotic meds. I mean, thats why we got refills on our meds. Our doctors felt that we could be trusted with narcotics, they were comfortable giving them to us, so why should the pharmacist not be? I am sick and tired of all of this. Ever since I have been diagnosed with chronic pain, I have had nothing but trouble at doctors offices and pharmacies. Its making me want to use OP's exclusively.
