I moved and had to change pharmacies.
I took my prescript
ion in and the pharmacist
looked at my record and said "Wow!"
He was young - just out of pharm school, I'd guess.
He started bad mouthing my pain doctor for the script
as he wrote it.
Pharmacist said, "You take four now - next thing it will be 6 - and then 8.
It's never ending."
I agreed that my pain would not have an end. EVER.
He said, "There was an article in the paper about
five months ago
about
the dangers of Methadone. Do you know it used to be given
to Heroin Addicts??!"
(He should do more in-depth reading then the newspaper.)
He gave me the Opiod 1A lecture.
(I've taken Opiods for 7 years now)
I know he's gonna flag my chart.
He said, "You should try the pain pump."
(I don't want to try the pain pump.)
ok ... I understand that he's a jerk.
I know he's showing off.
But the thing is ...
Can he get my doctor in trouble with the DEA?
Can he get me in trouble with my doctor?
Can I change pharmacies next time I have a prescript
ion filled? (or will it look like
I'm running or something.)
Tomorrow I go to my pain doctor.
He prescribes 4 Methadone a day and 2 Morphine IR a day.
I also take Xanax but none of them are close together.
At least it's not snowing where I am.
