We will give you just the right amount and you need to remember to call your doctor, make sure to get a confirmation of the prescription renewal, check with your pharmacy that they received it. Go and get your medication. All that within 3 days of you running out. Also the pharmacy is out of your medication and we’ll get it on about 4 to 7 days. Now you need to remember to call them to check if they received it every day. And that’s how I spent two weeks without meds. I didn’t feel any withdraw, but my wife had to constantly remind me to do things that I could do without reminder while I took them. This is the dumbest system ever.

My ADHD meds are on backorder. I have 4 doses left and no clue about when the pharmacy will get them in. I call my pharmacy every day and they have no clue when they'll be in.

If it’s possible in your area, I’ve had an easier time dealing with an independent pharmacy than with any of the big chains.

I go to a small pharmacy that is located inside a larger hospital. They have more limited hours than the big chains but they’ve always had my meds and been easy to get info from over the phone.

I’ve had lots of shit experiences with CVS/Walgreens/Costco
