In reply to My pharmacy gave me the wrong drug!, posted by ST on May 27, 2003, at 19:30:21
It happened to me: Instead of Adderall, I got Oxyconton ! Luckily, because I needed to take it right away, I opened the vial in the store to take one and discovered the mistake. It was obvious because the adderall are relatively large blue pills and the oxycontin were tiny white pills. At first the pharmacy clerk tried to convince me it was the correct pills--maybe generic (which I told her there is none of for adderall). I finally got to speak with the pharmacist who took a look at it and got a look of terror on her face. I'll say! It was a significant mistake. Shortly after that, one of the major national news magazines had the cover story on the proliferation of oxycontin abuse, with street values off the charts.
Now I always check what is inside the vial before leaving the store.
