Re: lost Rx's

On another note I have had to get a police report done and brought it to my

pharmacy

I lost my prescription for Xanax one time. My doctor refilled it. He

had never had a problem with me before. This is something we just can't go

around losing scripts for opiods or Xanax-type meds. That

can cause BIG trouble.

Take Care,

I feel for you. Losing or having my prescription stolen before I fill it or

even having it happen to my medication is my worse nightmare. I do not believe

that I would be able to get a replace if I was in that situation. States may

have restrictions on replacing controlled medications before the 30 days is up.

Can you take a different medication? Perhaps your doctor would consider giving

you another medication. Even if it is not as strong, it would be better than

not having anything for pain. I agree with making a police report.

Let us know how you make out.

Gentle hugs,

Tami

In the future, ask them to e-prescribe or fax all prescriptions (except

CIIs) directly to your pharmacy, that way they can't get lost. The DEA

allows e-prescribing of ALL prescriptions, including CIIs, but few doctors

have the capability. Once doctors get setup for e-prescribing of controlled

substances, lost prescriptions will be a thing of the past.

Personally, I can't wait for my doctor to get setup for it, since,

currently, CIIs require a paper scripts.

things out and get your medication!! Huge hugs, Tami

to do replace them one time and never again. So I just used up my only " get out

of jail free " card and better be really careful from now on. But I'm not a

person who loses things so I hope I will be OK from here on out.

E-Script has an error indiated software program and I have seen my Doctor type

in the prescriptions and Walgreens states they have not. This takes up so much

of my time I would rather have my paper documentation and research reflects the

software has some prpblems.

I hope that it changes and I hope I can get to where I get appointments every

three months. Bennie *This issue has been fought since 2006 and states can over

ride it.
