Once again...the suspicious, accusatory, patronizing pharmacist.
Okay....I am due for my refill of my clonazepam. Doctor ordered..knows of it..been the same for almost 6 years. My doctor also gave me some *extra* Xanax for the month of January, because I was just in a terrible and anxious twist. It would be a one-time deal, and that was all I needed. And, as a sleep med, I take a very tiny dose of Oxazepam...as I also have for years.
So, I phone the pharmacy, and ask for my clonazepam refill, the normally nice pharmacist
checks my meds on the computer, and tells me "You are on a lot of benzos...you are going to have to wait until tomorrow morning and I will call your doctor." I am *beat red* furious...as if it is HIS business what my doctor prescribes! There are no interactions, and I can tell he is just playing "drug squad cop". Last time, this guy also made me go to a walk-in clinic and wait 3 hours just to get a script for Effexor, which I was re-starting, but had some on file from about a month ago. I have never had this problem before, and the owner, another pharmacist and very nice lady, always went through with whatever I was prescribed and needed. She is in tomorrow morning, and I am going to give her the story on this other 'pharmacist', who is trying to play me as f*ck*ng dumb, when I likely know more about my meds then he does.Anyhow...thank you for letting me vent. ;-)
