Post your stories about pharmacy problems. Here's one of mine that happened this week.
I went to my doctor, whom is a very kind, caring and understanding woman, and got a new prescription for a sleeping pill. I took this to CVS and they said it would be ready later. I came back later and find that they "lost" it. They said "sir, we don't make mistakes like that..." and I told them "Are you human? Then you DO make mistakes..." So later, I call my doc and get her to call in the prescription, so I head back to pick it up and they say "150 dollars please," but I had always paid 15 dollars for it before... turns out they ordered the brand name rather than generic, so I had to tell them to switch it, but they said they didn't have it in and I have to wait a week... WITHOUT SLEEP!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
a few that would be funny if they werent serious..
When my daughter was younger she was given an antibiotic..the liquid kind they give kids..apparently it is stored in poweder form and the pharmacist adds water or whatever to make it.. well I got it home and it was still powder..their comment Oh HOW did that HAPPEN??
2. I was given the wrong strengnth on my motrin prescription.. it called for 800 mg and got it ho,e and it was 600..now that really isnt that BIG a deal ( right.??.that is what they told me) but what if it was my heart med? for that one I called district manager and they mailed me a 100 dollar gift card so I guess it WAS big deal!
3. Last week I went to RITE AID..the pharmacist told me my heart medicine was NOT being made anymore.. Ok what do i do DIE? that is actually what I aked him..I knew it was made.. he just was out of stock and was new and didnt know how to order it from his supplier I guess.. I said leave the Rx here for the lady who is the head pharmacist.. It is an old med so they always have to order it for me..in march it took 3 weeks to get it.. good thing I always fill it early..
Dont even get me started on Medicare D.. I am not even in it but my husbands plan uses their "standards" which means now they have an excuse not to cover MANY meds..
that is all I can tell now.. this got my pressure up just thinking about it..LOL
